keeling
Vessel rolling over
Keeling is the present participle of keel.
A boat keels over when it capsizes or tips dramatically to one side.
By extension, a person keels over when they collapse suddenly: He keeled over from exhaustion.
The word usually implies an abrupt, uncontrolled fall rather than a gradual one.
