Etymology
The word 'swirl' originates from the Old Norse word 'svirl' meaning 'to twist' or 'to rotate'. The term has evolved through the Middle English period, where the spelling and pronunciation were influenced by Germanic languages. By the late 14th century, 'swirl' began to take on more fluid meanings associated with motion and mixing. The suffix '-ed' is a common English morphological addition for the past tense, forming 'swirled' to depict a completed action of swirling. This word has maintained its essence throughout history, often used in literature and descriptions of nature, art, and human emotions.
