Rising circle (10)
I believe the answer is:
revolution
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'rising' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'circle' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for revolution that I've seen before include "Cycling" , "event that's part of French national identity" , "Beatles song" , "Complete turn" , "Beatles hit" .)
