The phrase "most encircled" is not a single word, but a combination of two words: "most" and "encircled".
The word "most" comes from the Old English word "mǣst", which means "greatest" or "chief". It is related to the Gothic word "maists" and the Old High German word "meist", both of which have similar meanings.
The term "encircled" is derived from the word "circle", which ultimately comes from the Latin word "circulus". In Latin, "circulus" refers to a round shape or a ring. Over time, it developed into the Old French word "cercle", which later entered Middle English as "circle". The addition of the prefix "en-" to "circle" creates the verb "encircle", meaning to surround or form a circle around something.
