I love vocabulary. So I thought I would create a word of the day blog. Yes, there is no humor here, just a little education.. so read on if this sort of thing interests you.
circumscribe (SUHR-kuhm-skryb) verb tr.
To draw a line around, to enclose within bounds, to limit or
restrict.
[From Latin circumscribere, from circum- (around) + scribere (to
write).
Ultimately from the Indo-European root skribh- (to cut, separate, or
sift) that has resulted in other terms such as manuscript, subscribe,
scripture, scribble, describe, circumflex, and circumspect.]
