Make circular motions with part of foot (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wheel

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

'make circular motions' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'with part of foot' is the wordplay.
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'part of foot' becomes 'heel' (heel is a part of the foot).
'w'+'heel'='WHEEL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wheel that I've seen before include "ring" , "Catherine -; gear -" , "Turn in a wide circle" , "Turn in a wide curve" , "- - of Fortune" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
