Circular Reasoning

So I was trying to find the definition of the word prebendaryship and I ran into an interesting circle of logic. I was using thefreedictionary.com:

prebendaryship: n. The office of a prebendary.

prebendary: n. A member of the Anglican clergy who receives a prebend.

prebend: n. A prebendary.

I found these definitions so enlightening.
