The ability in a horizontal menu to go to the last option on the right by going left while being placed on the first menu option?

Similarly going to the bottom last one while being on the first by pressing up.

The author is asking about the term used to describe a specific UI behavior where navigating left from the first option in a horizontal menu takes you to the last option, and similarly for vertical navigation.
