Circle
Tech giant's community
A circle is a round shape—a curved line that closes on itself, every point equidistant from the center.
The word extends to anything arranged in this shape: a circle of chairs, a circle of friends.
To circle is to move around something or draw a ring around it: The plane circled the airport; Circle the correct answer.
A circle can be a group united by shared interests: academic circles, inner circle.
To come full circle is to return to where you started.
