wheel
Axle-mounted circle
A wheel is round, flat, and revolves around an axis, like a steering wheel in a vehicle, or the wheels on which the vehicle moves.
Wheels may suggest a large and complex process, like the wheels of justice, or it may be dated slang for a car: That Mustang is a sweet set of wheels.
A person described as a wheel is considered to have power and influence; if they have lots of it, they are a big wheel.
To wheel is to propel something on wheels.
If you wheel around, you turn around quickly.
