Circumvolution: A turning or winding movement around a central axis.
Circumvolute: Wind or turn in volutions, 🐌 circum is root for circle and volute stands for twist. So, the word becomes twist in a circle.

Volute (volvere, to roll) is the root for evolution and revolution. Everything is flowing in spirals, we must keep on moving, making and turning like dervishes.
