rotationally
In spinning fashion
In a manner involving rotation—turning around an axis or center point.
Objects can be rotationally symmetric, meaning they look the same after partial rotation: The starfish is rotationally symmetric.
The term appears in physics, mathematics, and engineering contexts: The wheel spins rotationally about its hub.
