KZK: the Latin word circumambulare (walk around, over) derived from the Latin word ambulare (walk, take a walk, go on foot) derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *ambhi using the Late Latin prefix circum- derived from the Latin word circus (race course; circus in Rome, celebration of games) derived from the Greek word kirkos derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *kirk- derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *sker- (to turn, bend) Derivations in other languages Italian circumambulazione.......... It's complicated!
