cart wheel
Hands-and-feet rotation
A cart wheel is literally a wheel from a cart—large, spoked, and sturdy.
More commonly, a cartwheel is an acrobatic move where a person turns sideways with arms and legs extended like spokes, hands touching the ground in succession.
Children do cartwheels on lawns; gymnasts incorporate them into routines.
A cartwheel can also be a large coin, especially an old silver dollar.
Usually spelled as one word for the gymnastic sense.
