Etymology
The word cyclicality comes from the simple word cycle, which comes from an old word meaning 'circle'. Imagine a wheel or a bicycle wheel that turns again and again. That image explains why cyclicality means the tendency of things to happen again and again in a pattern, like the regular ups and downs in an economy.
