In the word "circumference," the suffix "ference" comes from the Latin "ferentia," which means "to carry" or "to bear." Therefore, "circumference" can be understood as referring to the "carrying around" or the distance that surrounds a circle. The prefix "circum-" means "around," so together they describe the boundary length of a circular shape.
