Go the rounds? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patrol

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'go the' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'parol' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for patrol that I've seen before include "Portal for those on security duty" , "Make a regular tour to maintain security" , "Guard's regular walk" , "Unit of a Scout or Guide company" , "Reconnaissance unit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
