The act of moving in a circular or spiral pattern; rotating or whirling around a fixed point.
From the verb 'gyre' (to revolve or spiral), which comes from Greek gyros meaning 'circle.' The -ing suffix forms the present participle, making it an action word that describes continuous circular motion.
When you watch ice skaters spin or planets orbit, they're all 'gyring'—it's one root word describing everything from tiny atoms to massive celestial bodies in circular motion.
