a perpetual falling that keeps missing the ground, dressed up as elegant looping.

means Relating to the curved path one body takes around another in space, or to the eye socket, or describing something that circles a central point.

from From Latin orbita, 'a track, course, or rut left by a wheel,' itself from orbis, 'a ring, circle, or disk.' The same orbis gave us 'orb.' The wheel-rut sense is telling: a planet's orbit is literally the groove its motion carves through space. The anatomical 'orbit' — the bony socket cradling the eyeborrowed the word for its rounded, hollow ring of bone.
