go-round

One more try

A go-round is one complete cycle or instance of something, especially a recurring event or dispute: We've been through this before—I'm not doing another go-round.

At an amusement park, a go-round (or merry-go-round) is a rotating platform with seats.

In aviation, a go-round is an aborted landing approach where the pilot circles back to try again.
