The quality or state of surrounding or being around something; the atmosphere or environment that encircles.
From Latin 'circum' (around) + 'ambience' (from French 'ambiance,' atmosphere). This Latinate noun formation describes the environmental quality of surrounding space.
Though 'circumambience' is virtually unused today, it suggests a specific philosophical idea: the conscious perception of how space and atmosphere envelope you. We get closer to this feeling with the French word 'ambiance,' which won out in English.
