come round
Finally agree with
Come round means to visit someone, usually casually or briefly: Why don't you come round for dinner tonight?
It also means to regain consciousness after fainting or anesthesia: She came round slowly after the surgery.
A third sense is to change one's opinion or attitude, often after initial resistance: He was skeptical at first, but eventually came round to the idea.
Chiefly British; Americans tend to say come around.
