Can't thnk of this word...
Hi all,
My mind drew a blank. What is the word that ESL teachers use when a student forgets a word so the teacher wants them to talk around the word instead of getting stuck on that one word. Is it: circumnavigate?
Thanks!

I'm not aware of a standard word for this situation. 'circumnavigate' would certainly work, as long as the students is advanced enough to comprehend the meaning.
