Something that is gyrating or rotating in a circular motion.
From Latin 'gyrans', present participle of 'gyrare' meaning to turn in a circle. This archaic or poetic term describes things in the act of rotating.
This is an old-fashioned word you might find in Victorian poetry describing spinning dancers or whirling planets, but modern English prefers 'gyrating' instead.
