Etymology
The word Cycladic comes from the name Cyclades, a group of Greek islands. That name comes from the Greek root kyklos meaning 'circle', which you can see in the English word 'cycle', because the islands form a ring, so Cycladic means 'from the Cyclades' and is used for their people, art, or style.
