"Churning" describes a strong, rough, mixing or turning motion — like water churning in a sea, moving around violently, or your stomach "churning" when you feel nervous or sick, as if it's turning over inside you. It comes from the older process of churning butter, where you shake or stir milk hard and fast until it turns into butter. In business, "churning" can also point to a high rate of customers or staff leaving and being replaced — related to the term "customer churn."
