The answer
CIRCA
What circa means
Approximately or around a particular time, used especially when the exact date of something historical is uncertain.
Where the word comes from
From Latin *circa*, meaning "around" or "about." The word originally functioned as a preposition indicating approximate location or time, derived from the Latin root *circ-* (circle, ring), which itself traces to Proto-Indo-European *sker-* (to turn or bend). English adopted *circa* directly from Latin in the 18th century, where it remains a learned term for approximation, especially in dating historical events.
