sjóndeildarhringur

sjóndeildarhringur = horizon in Icelandic

The word “sjóndeildarhringur” is a compound word consisting of words “sjón” (sight, seeing, vision), “deild” (division) and “hringur” (circle, ring) which could be loosely translated as “a circle of a divided vision”.

That reminds me of a Polish word “widnokrąg” containing words “widno” (visibly in Old Polish, daylight in Modern Polish) and “krąg” (circle), so “a circle of a vision”. There’s also a more familiar synonym “horyzont”.
