Past taking a turn (3)

I believe the answer is:

ago

'past' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a turn' is the wordplay.
'turn' becomes 'go' (a person's move in a board game).
'a'+'go'='AGO'

'taking' is the link.

(Other definitions for ago that I've seen before include "(Years) before the present time" , "Time past" , "Gone, past, since" , "Back (in time)" , "Earlier, gone by" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
