Etymology

The word 'circulate' originated from the Latin word 'circulatus', past participle of 'circulare', which means 'to form a circle'. The concept of circulation has been essential in various aspects of life, from the movement of air in a room to the distribution of information in a society. The term has evolved over time to encompass not just physical movement but also the dissemination of ideas, news, and resources among individuals or groups.
