What's the difference between spool and spun?

Spool


Definition:

  • (n.) A piece of cane or red with a knot at each end, or a hollow cylinder of wood with a ridge at each end, used to wind thread or yarn upon.
  • (v. t.) To wind on a spool or spools.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Three possible cases for the ejection process friction are considered: friction in the tail-part channel, that of DNA segments with each other in the whole globule volume (it is essential for the collective way of the globule decondensation with simultaneous movement of all the loops--the first type way), the globule friction with internal capsid surface (it is most essential for the decondensation by the way of the globule rotation as a whole "spool"--the second type way).
