Usage notes
[edit]American linguist Ernst Pulgram suggested that it was used in the same manner as Latin circumferre, referring specifically to a purification rite performed by carrying sacred objects around something. He further proposes that the verb may have functioned like a noun in this circumstance, meaning something akin to “the carrying.”
