Rarely seen in Latin (when borrowed from Greek). It comes from the Greek for wheel, or circle. Consequently when seen in English words it encompasses ideas of turning, circles, wheels, etc.

Examples:

encyclopedia (from kyklos -circle- and paideia -learning/education)

bicycle (two-wheels)

recycle (to turn again)

encyclical (a letter sent around to a group)
