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

'they go for a spin' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'she drives erratically' is the wordplay.
'erratically' is an anagram indicator.
'she'+'drives'='shedrives'
'shedrives' with letters rearranged gives 'DERVISHES'.
