circular assembly
Etymology
'cyclically-assembled' originates from the combination of 'cyclically,' derived from the Greek word 'kyklos' meaning 'circle,' and 'assembled,' from the Latin 'assemblare,' meaning 'to bring together.'
'cyclically' evolved from the Greek 'kyklos' through Latin 'cyclus' and Old French 'cyclic,' while 'assembled' transformed from Latin 'assemblare' through Old French 'assembler.'
Initially, 'cyclically' meant 'in a circular manner,' and 'assembled' meant 'brought together.' The combined term retains these meanings in modern usage.
