Definition of the word <b>roundabout</b>

Origin of the word roundabout

The word "roundabout" originated in the 16th century, combining the Old English words "round" and "aboute." Initially, it described a long, winding path or journey, like a circuitous route. By the 19th century, "roundabout" started being used to describe a circular platform for a fairground carousel. This usage then transferred to the modern traffic circle we know today. Interestingly, the word "roundabout" in the sense of a traffic intersection evolved independently in British English, with the American English term being "traffic circle" or "rotary."
