Swirled around (6)
I believe the answer is:
eddied
'swirled around' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for eddied that I've seen before include "went the rounds wildly" , "(Of smoke) moved in a circular manner" , "Whirled" , "Circled in little swirls" , "Of water, moved in small swirls" .)
