  Circuit
     the apparent diurnal revolution of the sun round the earth (Ps.
     19:6), and the changes of the wind (Eccl. 1:6). In Job 22:14,
     "in the circuit of heaven" (R.V. marg., "on the vault of
     heaven") means the "arch of heaven," which seems to be bent over
     our heads.

  circuit
       
          1.  A communications path in a circuit
          switching network.
       
          2.  A complete path through which an electric
          current can flow.
       
          The term is used loosely for any device or subsystem using
          electrical or electronic components.  E.g. "That lightning
          bolt fried the circuits in my GPS receiver".  An integrated
          circuit (IC) contains components built on a Silicon die.
