Ross

I believe the answer is:

routine

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

I believe this is a quintuple definition!!

'the way' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'to' acts as a link.

'go around' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'in' acts as a link.

'regular' is the third definition.
(similar in meaning)

'course' is the fourth definition.
(I have seen 'Regular course' mean 'routine' so perhaps 'course' could also mean 'routine')

'of' is a link.

'action' is the fifth definition.
The answer is an example.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for routine that I've seen before include "Sequence of actions regularly followed" , "Regular procedure" , "Nine to five?" , "Method" , "Nothing unusual" .)
