Source etymology 1
Original entry ↗A swirling vortex. · A circular or spiral motion; also, a circle described by a moving body; a revolution, a turn. · Synonym of gyrus (“a fold or ridge on the cerebral cortex of the brain”). · An ocean current caused by wind which moves in a circular manner, especially one that is large-scale and observed in a major ocean.
Borrowed from Latin gȳrus (“circle; circular motion”), from Ancient Greek γῦρος (gûros, “circle; ring”), from Proto-Indo-European *gew- (“to bend; to curve”). The English word is a doublet of gyro and gyrus.
