The answer
WALTZ
What waltz means
A ballroom dance in triple time with a strong accent on the first beat, performed by a couple rotating around the floor in a smooth, gliding motion.
Where the word comes from
The waltz came to English in the late 1700s from German *Walzer*, which derived from the verb *walzen*, meaning "to roll or turn." The German word ultimately traces back to Old High German *walzan*, related to Old Norse *velta* and Proto-Germanic *weltaną*, all meaning "to turn" or "to roll." The dance itself emerged in Austria and Bavaria as a spinning, rotating movement, giving the name its natural connection to the turning motion at its heart.
