Etymology
The word 'recirculate' originates from the Latin root 'circulare,' which means 'to form a circle' or 'to go round.' This Latin term is derived from 'circulus,' meaning 'small circle.' The prefix 're-' suggests repetition, indicating the concept of circulating something again. Recirculation as a term gained popularity with the advancements in engineering and environmental science, particularly during the 20th century as technology required more efficient systems for managing resources. The practice of recirculating air and water has become more prominent in discussions about sustainability and energy efficiency in modern society.
