What does circumvent mean in latin?

In: Latin to English [Edit categories]

Answer:

The word circumvent is not Latin but English, meaning to surround, encompass, lay traps for, to go round or to gain advantage by stratagem.

The English word derives from Latin circum (around) and venire (to come). The Latin verb circumvenio means "I come round, surround, beat, oppress or circumvent".
