Etymology
The Italian phrase "il ciclo" comes from the Latin word "cyclus," which in turn originates from the Greek word "kyklos," meaning 'circle' or 'wheel.' This reflects the idea of a repeating sequence, much like a wheel turning continuously. Did you know that the concept of cycles has been fundamental in understanding nature and time since ancient civilizations?
