Turns round to put back on the table (7)
I believe the answer is:
rotates
'turns round' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'put back on the table' is the wordplay.
'put' becomes 'set' (both can mean to place or position).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the table' becomes 'rota' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'set' backwards is 'tes'.
'tes' put after 'rota' is 'ROTATES'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rotates that I've seen before include "Spins round" , "Goes round" , "Takes turns" , "revolves" , "Turns round" .)
