A cycle or circular sequence of events; a recurring series or collection of related things.
From Latin 'cyclus', which comes from Greek 'kyklos' (circle). The Latin form was used in medieval and Renaissance literature to describe recurring cycles, seasons, and narrative series like the Arthurian cyclus.
Medieval scholars loved using 'cyclus' to organize knowledge—they'd talk about the 'cyclus of seasons' or the 'cyclus of literature' to show how stories and natural events repeated in patterns! It's the ancestor of our modern word 'cycle' but sounds more elegant in old texts.
