Circuit

(noun.) an electrical device that provides a path for electrical current to flow.

(noun.) (law) a judicial division of a state or the United States (so-called because originally judges traveled and held court in different locations); one of the twelve groups of states in the United States that is covered by a particular circuit court of appeals.

(noun.) an established itinerary of venues or events that a particular group of people travel to; 'she's a familiar name on the club circuit'; 'on the lecture circuit'; 'the judge makes a circuit of the courts in his district'; 'the international tennis circuit'.

(verb.) make a circuit; 'They were circuiting about the state'.
