Flowing or running around something; describes liquid or currents that surround and move around an object.
From Latin circumfluens (flowing around), present participle of circumfluere, combining circum- and fluere (to flow).
Venice is literally surrounded by circumfluent water—the Lagoon flows around the entire city, which is why it's built on islands and why 'acqua alta' (high water) is such a problem.
