'round' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'mischievous gi's hour' is the wordplay.
'mischievous' is an anagram indicator.
'gis'+'hour'='gishour'
'gishour' with letters rearranged gives 'ROGUISH'.

'comes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roguish that I've seen before include "Saucy" , "reprobate" , "I gush or change to be waggish" , "Dishonest - mischievous" , "Mischievous; unprincipled" .)
