Going off, is rounding the bend (2,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
on the turn
'going off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'rounding the bend' is the wordplay.
'rounding' becomes 'on' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bend' becomes 'turn' (synonyms).
'on'+'the'+'turn'='ON THE TURN'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for on the turn that I've seen before include "Going sour" , "change" .)
