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

'turning' is the definition.
(rotation is a kind of turning)

(Other definitions for rotation that I've seen before include "Recurring sequence" , "Turn of a wheel" , "Action of turning" , "The action of moving around an orbit" , "Out of control" .)
