Damn you John Tullamarine, I was going to say that, been away for too long counting lumpy bits in Takeoff splays.

Yep, "Spool up" is a generic term for jet engine acceleration all the way from idle to the maximum. To add just a little bit.......

"Spooled Up" generally refers to already being at an engine speed where further thrust required is available almost instantly, for all practical purposes.
