turnround
Flip and face
Turnround is a British spelling of turnaround—the time needed to complete a process or the space where vehicles reverse direction.
In business, a turnround is a dramatic recovery: The new CEO engineered a remarkable turnround.
The spelling with -round reflects British preference, while Americans typically write turnaround.
