Standard nominalization from the verb 'circulate' meaning to distribute; here it refers to distribution/number of copies in publishing contexts.
Etymology
The word circulation comes from the old Latin word circulare, from circus, meaning 'circle', which gives the picture of things going 'around'. So a newspaper's circulation is the number of copies sent out that move around among readers.
