Swing round in ever varying direction (4)

I believe the answer is:

veer

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

'swing round' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'ever varying direction' is the wordplay.
'ever' can be anagrammed to 'VEER'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
