wheel
\wheel\ (?), n. [oe. wheel, hweol, as. hwe?l, hweogul, hweowol; akin to d. wiel, icel. hvēl, gr. ky`klos, skr. cakra; cf. icel. hjōl, dan. hiul, sw. hjul. ?218. cf. cycle, cyclopedia.]
1. a circular frame turning about an axis; a rotating disk, whether solid, or a frame composed of an outer rim, spokes or radii, and a central hub or nave, in which is inserted the axle, -- used for supporting and conveying vehicles, in machinery, and for various purposes; as, the wheel of a wagon, of a locomotive, of a mill, of a watch, etc. the gasping charioteer beneath the wheel of his own car.
2. any instrument having the form of, or chiefly consisting of, a wheel. specifically: (a) a spinning wheel. see under spinning. (b) an instrument of torture formerly used. his examination is like that which is made by the rack and wheel.
note: this mode of torture is said to have been first employed in germany, in the fourteenth century. the criminal was laid on a cart wheel with his legs and arms extended, and his limbs in that posture were fractured with an iron bar. in france, where its use was restricted to the most atrocious crimes, the criminal was first laid on a frame of wood in the form of a st. andrew's cross, with grooves cut transversely in it above and below the knees and elbows, and the executioner struck eight blows with an iron bar, so as to break the limbs in those places, sometimes finishing by two or three blows on the chest or stomach, which usually put an end to the life of the criminal, and were hence called coups-de-grace -- blows of mercy. the criminal was then unbound, and laid on a small wheel, with his face upward, and his arms and legs doubled under him, there to expire, if he had survived the previous treatment. (c) (naut.) a circular frame having handles on the periphery, and an axle which is so connected with the tiller as to form a means of controlling the rudder for the purpose of steering. (d) (pottery) a potter's wheel. see under potter. then i went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. xviii. 3. turn, turn, my wheel! this earthen jar a touch can make, a touch can mar. (e) (pyrotechny) a firework which, while burning, is caused to revolve on an axis by the reaction of the escaping gases. (f) (poetry) the burden or refrain of a song.
note: "this meaning has a low degree of authority, but is supposed from the context in the few cases where the word is found." you must sing a-down a-down, an you call him a-down-a. o, how the wheel becomes it!
3. a bicycle or a tricycle; a velocipede.
4. a rolling or revolving body; anything of a circular form; a disk; an orb.
5. a turn revolution; rotation; compass. according to the common vicissitude and wheel of things, the proud and the insolent, after long trampling upon others, come at length to be trampled upon themselves. [he] throws his steep flight in many an aëry wheel.

Heart, circulatory system, emotions; Lug nuts: Lymph system; Wheelchair: restricting / repressing feelings

A circular device, thin in relation to its face area, usually able to rotate about a central axle or pivot, with a durable but elastic rim or with regular teeth cut on the rim and for lightness often supported by spokes joined to the hub instead of being left solid. The invention of the wheel enabled loads to be transported with relative ease, because rolling friction is always much less than sliding friction . The use of cogged wheels also enabled power to be transmitted from one component to another. Also see alloy wheel , chain wheel , chopped wheel , degree wheel , disc wheel , and drag wheel .

A flight control operated by turning with hands in fixed-wing aircraft, primarily to control roll (heading) via the ailerons; wheel is connected to yoke;

Wheel

n. [from slang `big wheel' for a powerful person] A person who has an active wheel bit. "We need to find a wheel to unwedge the hung tape drives." (See wedged, sense 1.) The traditional name of security group zero in BSD (to which the major system-internal users like root belong) is `wheel'. Some vendors have expanded on this usage, modifying Unix so that only members of group `wheel' can go root.

A controller, normally mounted at the left end of the keyboard and played with the left hand, that is used for pitch-bending or modulation.

Slang for a ship's propeller.

A formation in which skaters form lines that are connected and rotating from one central point, similar to the spokes on a bicycle wheel.

Attached to the truck - rolling devices which are usually made of urethane. In addition to the standard wheels, there are now those which have a nylon or high-tech plastic on the interior part of the wheel.

n. rutlh

(Heb. galgal; rendered "wheel" in Ps. 83:13, and "a rolling thing" in Isa. 17:13; R.V. in both, "whirling dust"). This word has been supposed to mean the wild artichoke, which assumes the form of a globe, and in autumn breaks away from its roots, and is rolled about by the wind in some places in great numbers.

Wheel Perpetual gyratory motion; a vortex, a center of revolving force. Matter is not only motion itself in low ranges of the cosmos, but has likewise many modes of motion, although not in the sense in which this phrase was used in the 19th century. Lord Kelvin's vortex-atoms illustrate the point, for he showed that many of the properties attributed to atoms could be represented by regarding atoms as vortices in a frictionless, incompressible fluid. More recent analysis of the atom has failed to resolve it into anything more than electric particles whose properties are functions of their motions. "Atoms are called 'Vibrations' in Occultism . . . " (SD 2:633). Fohat traces spiral lines and forms wheels or centers of force around which primordial cosmic matter expands and contracts and passes through stages of consolidation ending in globes, and later through stages of etherealization. Vortical motion is a universal law, as seen in the stellar universe and in the electronic constitution of the physical atom, giving a fuller meaning to the word cycle.
Wheel, cycle, globes, and revolutions all pertain to the same fundamental conception of whirling, revolving, or gyratory motion of beings and substances; and as no motion can take place except in matter, space, and time, the whirlings and revolutions of beings and things include likewise the time periods or cyclic returns of beings and events throughout duration. Wherever there is a whirling or turning, whether of matter or of an event in time, it is because it is a being or thing which is active in reproducing itself in cyclic events (cf Ezekiel 1:15-21). This is one of the archaic ways of understanding what is now called the principle of Relativity. Indeed, so intimate and entangled are the actor and the act -- the being and its movements in time -- that it is not always easy to distinguish the actor inherent and moving from the effects in space and time of such movement; so that when we speak of a cycle of time we are perforce obliged to conceive of a moving entity producing the cycle, albeit the moving entity may not be visible to us and indeed may be incomprehensible. Hence, the frequent and often perplexing usage of wheel or wheelings found in ancient occult writings. See also WINGED WHEEL; GLOBE, WINGED
