milling
Crushing into flour
Milling is the process of grinding grain into flour, or more broadly, any cutting or shaping done by a rotating tool.
A milling machine cuts metal or wood with spinning blades.
The ridged edge on a coin is called milling.
People milling about are moving in an aimless, circular way, like grain being ground: Crowds milled around the entrance.
