Whirl wind (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reel

This clue is a double definition.

'whirl' is the first definition.
('reel' can be a synonym of 'whirl')

'wind' is the second definition.
(reeling is a kind of winding)

(Other definitions for reel that I've seen before include "Stagger in Irish dance" , "Rock" , "Lively dance; bobbin" , "Whirl around" , "Drum - dance - music" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
