- 1盤繞的、捲起來的
Coiled is the -ed form of coil: to wind something into a series of rings, or to be wound that way. A rope can be coiled on the deck; a snake can lie coiled on a rock; a spring is a coiled piece of metal. You can coil something (wind it) or it can coil itself (a snake, a cable with a mind of its own). As an adjective, coiled describes the shape that is left: round and round, not straight. People also say coiled up, especially for a body pulled into a tight spiral, ready to rest or to jump. It is a physical picture first. Writers sometimes stretch it to a person coiled with anger — tight, wound, ready to spring — but the home meaning is still those rings.
組成coil (to wind into rings) + -ed. No sure origin story for coil beyond that, so the pieces stop here.
