bring round
Change someone's mind
To bring someone round is to restore them to consciousness after they've fainted or been knocked out: The smelling salts brought her round.
It also means to persuade someone to change their position: He was opposed at first, but we brought him round.
In British English, to bring something round is to deliver it: I'll bring the books round tomorrow.
