An ostentatious way to refer to a broad roundabout / public space which acts as a mixed use plaza-like convergence of several streets. This term is a combination of the Latin rooted modern British noun 'gyratory' used to denote a large or complex circular traffic junction, and the archaic Latin noun 'platēa' which refers to a broad street / open city space or courtyard– root of the modern Spanish 'plaza'. Hence a less archaic and simpler way to infer similar meaning could be 'large circular plaza'.
