wheeling
Moving on casters
Wheeling is moving on wheels or as if on wheels.
It often suggests circular or sweeping motion: gulls wheeling overhead, dancers wheeling across the floor.
To wheel is to turn sharply: She wheeled around to face him.
Wheeling and dealing describes aggressive, sometimes unscrupulous negotiating—the wheeler-dealer makes things happen through constant maneuvering.
The wheeling of a cart over cobblestones.
