Word For The Day, Friday, March 6, 2015 circumvolve
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
Circumvolve; verb; to revolve or wind about. Upon my soul, I believe there is not a Letter in those words, round which a world of imagery does not circumvolve
Samuel Taylor Coleridge to Sir Humphrey Davy, October 9, 1800, in Letters of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Volume 1, 1895 Hope not in mortal things!so years do say, / So warn the hours, which circumvolve the day. Sir Thomas Hawkins, edited by Rowland Freeman, "Book 4. Ode 7. To Lucius Manlius Torquatus," Kentish Poets, 1821 Circumvolve came to English in the late 1500s from the Latin circumvolvere meaning "to roll round."

From the moment I got to the airport. Fun in the sun. High in the 70s today. Cannot wait to soak it up. My son is picking me up for breakfast in a few minutes. My favorite spot...Stacks in Campbell.

Hillary will circumvolve and charm
After all, now what’s the harm?
Of telling her lies
To get the prize
She’ll just twist our arm.

The Jewish rabbi had to get his microscope and tweezers to finish the circumvole on his latest customer - a tiny furry rodent.

At any rate, I’m sure it is better than being circumvented.
