spindled

/spˈɪndəld/ verb

simple past and past participle of spindle

Word Origin Spindle comes from Old English spinel, from spinnan 'to spin' — a tool for twisting fibers. Spindled means shaped like a spindle or having spindles. The root spin gives us spider (spinner), spinster (a woman who spins), and spin-off. The PIE root *(s)pen- also gives us pendulum and depend (hang from). So spindled is drawn out like a spun thread.
