Look how and why circa and circumference and all of the other "circum" words are related.

At the Round Table, the knight who ate too much was named Sir Cumference.
As to circa itself, its meaning is quite the same as the English equivalent: on or
about.

More general than equivalent or equal I should think. It means around or about or especially near something. Often abbreviated,if I'm weak on dates, I migh opine Columbus discovered America ca.1500.
