Enclosed, surrounded, or protected by walls; walled in on all sides.
Past participle of circummure, from Latin circum- (around) + murare (to wall). Describes something that has been completely enclosed within walls.
Old European cities often featured circummured neighborhoods where different trades lived—the leather workers, metalworkers, and dyers each in their own walled sections. These divisions still shape modern city layouts even though the walls are long gone!
