Moving in circular motions or swirls, like water or air spiraling in circles opposite to the main flow.
Present participle of 'eddy,' formed by adding '-ing' to the base verb. Derives from the same Old Norse/Old English roots as 'eddy,' describing the action of creating or moving in circular patterns.
Eddying is one of those perfect verbs because the word itself feels like the motion it describes—the double-d sound gives it a spinning, swirling quality that matches the water movement!
