Hurt, went round in circles! (5)
I believe the answer is:
wound
'hurt' is the definition.
(I know that hurt can be written as wound)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wound that I've seen before include "Went round" , "Injury to living tissue" , "injury to reputation" , "Cause injury to" , "As bandage was" .)
