In the United States, JKR would be thought of as a classicist. All 
those lovely spells in Latin.....I just had a lovely web journey to 
the Lexicon..I knew that Patronum meant guardian or defender, and I 
knew that expecto could mean I expect but I kept thinking it meant 
something about breath..loe and behold...the alternative meaning of 
expecto is to expel from the chest, i.e.to send forth from one's self
which of course makes sense given the Dementors sucking out breath...
That woman has an amazing mind...

Given that, I'll say again that Spinners End probably has something 
to do with fate or destiny, referencing the Greek fates The Fates 
were the the three who controlled the destiny of men and women. The 
names of the three were: Clotho (Nona), the spinner; Lachesis 
(Decuma), the measurer; and Atropos (Morta), the web cutter.
