Spinning or rotating in a whirling motion; in a state of rapid circular movement.
From 'a-' (in a state of) + 'twirl' (to spin). 'Twirl' may derive from Scandinavian sources, possibly related to Old Norse. The 'a-' prefix is archaic.
Dancers and poets adore 'atwirl'—it captures something more dynamic than just 'spinning,' with a sense of elegance and continuous motion, like a skirt in a dance.
