circularly

/ˈsɝkjəɫɝɫi/ adv

In a circular way.

Word Origin From Latin circulus 'small ring, circle' — so circularly means 'in a circular manner.' The root gives us circulate (to go around), circulation, and circuitous (roundabout). The circum- prefix in words like circumference, circumnavigate, and circumvent all come from the same idea of a circle. The PIE root *sker- meant 'to turn, bend,' which is exactly what a circle does.

adv In a circular way.
