Etymology

The word 'whirl' originates from Middle English 'whirlen' (to whirl, to rotate), a frequentative form of the Old English 'hwierfan', meaning to turn or rotate. This Old English term is derived from Proto-Germanic *kwirwลnฤ…, which also relates to various Germanic languages with similar meanings, such as 'wirbeln' in German and 'wirlen' in Dutch. The word has evolved over the centuries, with 'whirled' serving as the simple past tense and past participle of 'whirl'. The action of whirling has long been associated with both literal spins of objects and metaphorical spins of emotions or events, maintaining its presence in the English language due to its vivid imagery and use in creative expressions.
