Similar to circumincession; reciprocal indwelling or mutual interpenetration, particularly in theological contexts.
From Latin 'circum' (around) + 'insessio' (a sitting in or occupying). This variant spelling emerged alongside circumincession with nearly identical theological meaning in medieval Christian discourse.
This is essentially the same concept as circumincession but with an alternate Latin root—a perfect example of how medieval scholars had multiple ways to express the same mystical idea! The slight spelling difference shows how theological vocabulary evolved as monks and priests debated these concepts across centuries.
