Approximately translated into Latin (5)
I believe the answer is:
circa
'approximately' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for circa that I've seen before include "Approximately (Latin)" , "Roughly" , "About (regarding dates)" , "About, say, a date" , "Close to" .)
