Wind round hospital department taking drink (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entwine

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wind round' is the definition.
'entwine' can be an answer for 'wind' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'round' bit.

'hospital department taking drink' is the wordplay.
'hospital department' becomes 'ENT' (abbreviation for Ear, Nose and Throat department).
'taking' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'drink' becomes 'wine' (wine is an alcoholic drink).
'ent'+'wine'='ENTWINE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entwine that I've seen before include "Wind or twist together" , "Get weaving" , "Interweave" , "Weave - interlace" , "closely blend together" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
