gyrate

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

'spin' is the definition.
(I know that spin can be written as gyrate)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gyrate that I've seen before include "Spin around" , "Move in a spiral course" , "Move spirally" , "wheel" , "Go round" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
