the room spins while you stand perfectly still, betrayed by your own inner ear
means A dizzying sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning or tilting, often caused by problems in the inner ear's balance system.
from Straight from Latin vertigo, "a whirling or spinning movement," built on the verb vertere, "to turn." That same turning root spins through a whole family of English words — convert, reverse, vortex, even vertebra (the bones that let you turn) — all tracing back to the idea of something pivoting. Vertigo is, quite literally, the world refusing to stop turning.
