Etymology
Romanian borrowed "circuit" from French "circuit", which traces back to Latin "circuitus", the past participle of "circumire", meaning to go around. The Latin word breaks down into "circum" (around) and "ire" (to go). The sense of a closed loop, whether electrical, physical, or economic, comes directly from this idea of a path that returns to its start.
