Those are both circular. These are not:

entomology = the study of insects
entomologist = person who engages in entomology


vehicular rules of the road = rules of the road that pertain to the operation of vehicles.
vehicular cycling = cycling per the vehicular rules of the road

Do you see and appreciate the difference?
