Good question; interesting and unexpected answer; good reference website, can't beat it with a stick. Greek or Latin roots, obviously, but its first citation as a word isn't that old, although it pre-dates Shakespeare by centuries. Circumstance shows up, from the Latin, circumstantia, meaning "surrounding condition" circa 1225. By 1340 it has pretty much been set as the term we now know. The excellent website to which I will send you for further reference provides a few more citations, up to and including the Shakespearean: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=circumstance&searchmode=none
