köken: mala + ström, from ström (“stream, streaming water”) and presumably from the verb mala (“to mill, to rotate like a mill stone, to swing around, to swirl”). Same as Old Danish malestrøm, Danish malstrøm, German Mahlstrom, English maelstrom, originally from Dutch maalstroom. Alternatively the first compound is from Saterland Frisian dwalen (“to swirl”), through Dutch waal (“vortex”).
köken: Inherited from Vulgar Latin *voltoria < *volutoria, from Latin volutus, from volvō (“roll, tumble”). Compare Aromanian vãltoari. Alternatively perhaps linked to the related root *volutulāre (cf. Italian voltolare).
köken: Of debated origin: # Borrowed from a Chuvash-type Turkic language before the times of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin (at the turn of the 9th and 10th centuries). # From the verb őr (“to turn”) + -vény.
köken: From an archaic spelling malestrøm, from male (“to grind”) + strøm (“current, stream”), probably from earlier Dutch maelstrom (modern Dutch maalstroom). Compare English maelstrom, German Mahlstrom and Swedish malström.
vortex, whirlpool, eddy (a powerful, circular current of water or air that spins around a central axis) · swirl, whirl, vortex (a chaotic or rapid sequence of events or emotions that feels overwhelming)
