swivels
Turns in place
Swivels is the plural of swivel—a device that allows rotation without tangling, like the coupling on a dog leash or fishing line.
To swivel is to turn or pivot: She swiveled in her chair to face him.
Swivel appears in compounds: swivel chair, swivel-hipped.
Figuratively, to swivel between options is to shift attention back and forth.
