To tear round and round? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rotate

'round?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'to tear round' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'tear'='totear'
'totear' is an anagram of 'ROTATE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rotate that I've seen before include "wheel" , "Turn round" , "Go around" , "Gyrate" , "'Er, to a T? (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
