A curve that is the locus of a point that rotates about a fixed point while continuously increasing its distance from that point.
That is shaped like a spiral
To move in a spiral course.
something wound in a continuous series of loops; "a coil of rope"
in the shape of a coil
move in a spiral or zigzag course
to wind or move in a spiral course:" the muscles and nerves of his fine drawn body were coiling for action,", "black smoke coiling up into the sky"; "the young people gyrated on the dance floor"
a curve that lies on the surface of a cylinder or cone and cuts the element at a constant angle
flying downward in a helical path with a large radius
a plane curve traced by a point circling about the center but at ever-greater distances from it
form a spiral; "The path spirals up the mountain"
a curve on a plane that winds around a center with an increasing distance from the center
a structure consisting of something wound in a continuous series of loops; "a coil of rope"
ornament consisting of a curve on a plane that winds around a center with an increasing distance from the center
to wind or move in a spiral course; "the muscles and nerves of his fine drawn body were coiling for action"; "black smoke coiling up into the sky"; "the young people gyrated on the dance floor"
a structure consisting of something wound in a continuous series of loops
a continuously accelerating change in the economy
a plane curve traced by a point circling about the center but at increasing distances from the center
