ETYM Latin circumferentia.
In geometry, the curved line that encloses a curved plane figure, for example a circle or an ellipse. Its length varies according to the nature of the curve, and may be ascertained by the appropriate formula. The circumference of a circle is pd or 2pr, where d is the diameter of the circle, r is its radius, and p is the constant pi, approximately equal to 3.1416.
