The term circumscribe, as a synonym of circumscribe, refers to the action of establishing the limits of a certain situation or fact, reducing it to these terms. This, in the same way, is applied to those who remain under the boundaries that are imposed on them by others.
In mathematics, the concept of the word focuses on the outline of a geometric figure that surrounds another, taking into account that these must be in contact in some areas and must be continuous. That is, the figures must be tangent with respect to the others, in as many points as possible.
This word enters the Castilian language around the 15th century, when it receives a loan from Latin: the word "circumscribere", which can be translated as "to draw a circle around". This is derived from the word "scribere" (to write), and is part of the etymological family of the word "zero". It is from its etymological origin that the meaning of the word is established, and it is commonly associated with the drawing of circles. It is a basic part of the vocabulary used in one of the best known branches of mathematics, geometry, as well as related sciences.
In its meaning as a delimiter of behaviors or actions, "circumscribe" encompasses an important aspect within certain operations and jobs. Thus, for the machine to function correctly, it is important that certain limits are established, within which an optimal and satisfactory rhythm for the owner is guaranteed. Another example is that of any job, such as the director of a soccer team, who should only be in charge of handling matters concerning the performance of players on the field and in competitions.
