"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." |
