Etymologically, it works (you “give another turn” to the base idea, you take an existing idea and you flip it, you tighten the screw on an existing idea, you adjust course by turning an existing direction, etc.)

According wikipedia, the latin origin means "a turn around", which I parse, going off in another direction. Not just another turn.
