I am trying to remember what I learned in college ...three ways of arguing have escaped my mind..seems like "argumentum " was one of them and the meanings were as if an argument was being presented as circular or otherwise.

The legal term of art for an argument is 'submission'.
The Latin term for argument (which is what I think you're looking for) is petitio - as in petitio principii (circular argument).

Go back to school and get a real education. Call your college professor isn't that what you paid all that money to go to school for? Don't tell me you got there on a scholorship if you lost your mind.
