Around, round about, in a circle; a preposition/adverb indicating circular spatial orientation.
Kuklo functions as a preposition and adverb meaning 'around,' 'round about,' or 'in a circle.' It derives from kuklos ('circle, ring') and conveys the spatial idea of surrounding or encircling. Jesus looks 'around' at those seated in a circle about him (Mark 3:34); he goes 'around' the villages teaching (Mark 6:6); and Paul describes preaching the gospel 'in a circle' from Jerusalem to Illyricum (Rom 15:19). The Spanish 'alrededor' and German 'ringsumher' both emphasize the encircling, all-around quality of this spatial term.
