Leave tripe, spinning round in self-indulgence (7)

I believe the answer is:

egotrip

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

'leave tripe spinning round in self-indulgence' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'leave tripe spinning round' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'go' (to go is to depart or leave).
'spinning' indicates an anagram.
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'tripe' is an anagram of 'etrip'.
'go' put into 'etrip' is 'EGOTRIP'.

Can you help me to learn more?
