Word origin

The word 'spiralled' is derived from the base word 'spiral', which has its roots in the Latin 'spira', meaning 'coil' or 'twist'. 'Spira' evolved into the medieval Latin 'spiralis', referring to something that has a spiral form. Over time, the term made its way into the English language, adopting the '-ed' suffix to denote its past tense form. The use of 'spiralled' in English became more prevalent in the 19th century as more scientific and literary contexts began incorporating it to describe various phenomena, both natural and abstract. It has since become a versatile term, applicable in diverse fields such as mathematics, physics, and even in describing social or emotional situations.
