Swing in the breeze, partly turning around (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trapeze

'swing' is the definition.
(I know that trapeze is a type of swing)

'breeze partly turning around' is the wordplay.
'around' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'turning' says the letters should be written backwards.
'ezepart' is hidden in the letters of 'breeze partly'.
'ezepart' reversed gives 'TRAPEZE'.

'in the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for trapeze that I've seen before include "Swing used by circus acrobats" , "Circus attraction" , "Where swingers swing" , "Circus bar on ropes" , "Acrobatic apparatus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
