Today's Word "ambit"

ambit \AM-bit\ (noun) - 1 : Circuit or compass. 2 : The boundaries or limits of a district or place. 3 : An area in which something acts, operates, or has power or control; extent; sphere; scope.

"We know each other very well on a narrow ambit... But that narrow ambit on which you know each other well might have given you some sidelight on Gideon Summerfield." -- Jill Paton Walsh, 'A Piece of Justice'

Ambit is from Latin ambitus, "circuit," from ambire, "to go around," from amb-, "about, around" + ire, "to go."
