full turn
Circle back around
A full turn is a complete rotation of 360 degrees, returning to the starting position.
In skating, gymnastics, and dance, it describes spinning once around: She landed a full turn on the beam.
In everyday contexts, it can describe any complete circular motion: Give the knob a full turn to the right.
