Word origin
From Greek horizon kyklos, the bounding circle, from horizein ('to bound, to divide'). The same Greek verb sits under English horizon and, more distantly, aphorism.

Examples
.
The sun disappeared below the horizon.
.
We saw a ship on the horizon.
.
Clouds covered the whole horizon.
Concrete and figurative both, exactly as in English: the line where sea meets sky, and the reach of what somebody knows. Plilarĝigi is to broaden one's horizons and is as much of a cliche in Esperanto as it is here. The adjective horizontala is the flat-versus-upright one and is a separate borrowing, so do not expect to be waiting for you.
