"Circum" is a Latin root and means "around." "Circus" is so called from the rings enclosing the show, (three-ring circus). So, "circumnavigate" means to navigate around, as in circumnavigate the globe. "Circumcise" means to cut around, (from the same root as "incision").

There are 204 words containing the root "circum" in Webster's Second International dictionary.
