a loop that only works because it agrees to come back home.
means A circuit is a closed path or loop — whether an electrical pathway that current travels around, a defined route a traveler or judge follows, or any roughly circular course that ends where it began.
from From Latin 'circuitus,' meaning 'a going around,' built from 'circum' (around) and 'ire' (to go) — the same 'ire' that gives us 'exit' (a going out) and 'transit' (a going across). It traveled into English through Old French, first naming the act of walking the boundaries of a place, and only much later, when humans learned to send current chasing itself through wire, did it come to mean the electrical loop we now picture first.
