"The influence of Latin shows itself in a whole series of terms in
various fields:
rhetoric - fabula plot, story; mathematics - numeratsiya numbering,
tsyrkul' compass, vertikal'nyi vertical; geography - globus globe;
astronomy - gradus degree, minuta minute;"

Did tsyrkul' previously mean compass? How could the meaning of it have
changed to its modern meaning?
