The act of sitting around something or surrounding it on all sides.
From Latin circum- (around) + sessio (sitting, from sedere to sit). A rare term combining the idea of surrounding with being seated.
This word is almost never used in modern English, but in medieval times a circumsession might describe an army besieging a castle—literally sitting all around it!
