Gyration

/dʒaɪˈreɪʃən/ noun

Definition

A circular or spiral movement or motion around a center point.

Etymology

From Latin 'gyratio', derived from 'gyrare' (to turn in a circle). The noun form entered English in the 18th century to describe the action or result of gyrating.

Kelly Says

A gyration is one complete circular motion—dancers use gyrations to generate energy, planets follow gyrations in their orbits, and your spinning ice skater creates beautiful gyrations that people applaud!
