revolve
Spin on axis
Revolve means to move in a circle around a central point or axis.
The Earth revolves around the sun; a door revolves on its hinges.
Figuratively, things revolve around whatever is central to them: Her life revolves around her children.
To revolve something in your mind is to turn it over, considering it from different angles.
