John 7:22

Strong's NT #4059 περιτέμνω. to cut around. The word "circumcision" is a compound word consisting of the Latin prefix "circum-" and the root "cision." Circum-: This prefix comes from the Latin word "circum," meaning "around" or "about." It indicates a sense of "around" or "about" in relation to the root word. -cision: This suffix comes from the Latin root "cisio," derived from the verb "caedere," meaning "to cut" or "to incise." The suffix "-cision" denotes an action or process of cutting. When combined, "circum-" and "-cision" form the word "circumcision," which literally means "cutting around" or "cutting around the foreskin."
