Went round to put a name on the list (7)

I believe the answer is:

rotated

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

'went round' is the definition.
(to rotate is to go round and round)

'put a name on the list' is the wordplay.
'put a name' becomes 'ted' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the list' becomes 'rota' (rota is a kind of list).
'ted' put after 'rota' is 'ROTATED'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rotated that I've seen before include "Went round" , "Revolved" , "Spun" , "Turned around axis or central point" , "Turned round" .)
