'go around' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'about uranium coming after the due time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'c' (circa) and 'c' is found within the answer.
'uranium' could be 'u' (U is the chemical symbol for uranium) and 'u' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
