Etymology
The word 'swirly' is derived from the verb 'swirl,' which dates back to the late 15th century, originating from Middle English 'swarlen,' meaning to spin, twist, or whirl. The root of 'swirl' is believed to come from the Old Norse word 'svirla,' which also conveys a sense of spiraling or rotating movement. As language evolved, 'swirly' emerged as an adjective in the 20th century to describe things that exhibit this spiraling motion or aesthetic. It has since been adopted in various contexts, particularly in describing designs, patterns, and visual motifs in art and fashion.
