约于1300年,“空间,区域,范围,周长”,源自于古法语 compas “圆圈,半径; 大小,范围; 一对圆规”(12世纪),来自 compasser “绕着走,用圆规测量; 平均分配”,源自于通俗拉丁语 *compassare “踱步”,源自于拉丁语 com “一起,共同”(参见 com-) + passus “一步”(源自于 PIE 词根 *pete- “扩散”)。
用于描述圆的数学工具自14世纪中期起在英语中被称为“compass”。水手的定向工具(自15世纪初起被称为“compass”)可能是因为它是圆形的,有一个像数学工具一样的尖端而得名。

这个词在大多数欧洲语言中都有,罗曼语中有数学意义,日耳曼语中有航海意义,英语中两者都有。在中古英语中,它还可以表示“机智,精巧,狡猾”。在中古英语中也是一个副词:to go compass 意为“绕着走,绕圈子走”。
