Word origin
The word 'reversion' originates from the Latin word 'reversio', meaning 'a turning back'. It first appeared in the English language in the 15th century. Initially used in legal contexts to refer to the returning of property, its usage expanded to include scientific and general contexts. The concept of reversion is often associated with the idea of going back to a previous state or condition.
