Understanding Circumscribe: Definition and Examples

Circumscribe is a verb that means to draw or write around something, especially to describe the boundaries or limits of an area or object. It can also refer to the act of limiting or restricting something within a specific boundary or framework.

For example, "The map circumscribes the city limits with a red line." or "The new policy circumscribes the employees' access to sensitive data."

In both cases, the word is used to indicate that something is being defined or limited by a specific boundary or framework.
