Go round with a list at half term (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rotate

'go round' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'list at half term' is the wordplay.
'list' becomes 'rota' (rota is a kind of list).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'half' means to take half the letters.
'term' with half the letters taken is 'te'.
'rota'+'te'='ROTATE'

'with a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rotate that I've seen before include "Pirouette" , "Pivot" , "Turn round" , "Whisk round" , "Alternate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
