whirlpool
Spinning water hazard
A whirlpool is a rapidly rotating body of water that forms when currents meet or drain, creating a circular motion that can pull objects toward its center.
The word extends to anything that draws you in with similar force: a whirlpool of emotions, caught in a whirlpool of debt.
A whirlpool bath or tub has jets that create swirling water for therapeutic massage. (Capitalized Whirlpool is the appliance brand.)
