It was adopted into Middle English during the late 14th century as 'circulate', retaining the notion of something that moves around or flows. The evolution of the word reflects a broader understanding of processes that involve the sharing and distribution of information or items, whether through tangible means, such as physical documents, or through intangible means, such as ideas. Over time, 'circulate' has been employed in various contexts, including social, political, and scientific discussions, underscoring its versatility and the importance of communication in human interactions.
