The act of agitating or stirring in a circular manner; a formation based on the rare verb circumagitate.
From 'circumagitate' (to agitate around) + '-tion' (abstract noun suffix). Since the parent verb was rare, this noun is even rarer, existing mainly in historical medical or alchemical texts.
In alchemical texts, 'circumagitation' described the circular stirring of mixtures in crucibles—giving it a strangely poetic sound for what we'd now just call 'stirring.' It's a reminder that old scientific texts read like incantations.
