> Circumire; meaning to go around

I think you can take that back one more step. The English word is a combination of the preposition, 'circum,' which means 'around,' and the root of the verb 'fero (fer-), to bring. So literally, it means 'bring around' or 'a bringing around.'

There's also a Latin verb, 'circumfero,' 'I bring / carry around.'
