Circled

/ˈsɜɹkəld/ verb

Definition

Moved around something in a circular path; drew a circle around something.

Etymology

From Latin 'circulus' (circle), which originally meant 'a ring or traveling in a ring.' The word's root relates to 'cirrus' and Sanskrit 'cakra,' all describing circular shapes.

Kelly Says

Geometry words reveal how the same root 'circ-' spins through language: circle, circular, circus, circulate, circuit—they all spin from the same wheel-shaped origin.
