释义

renversev.

Forms:

α. 1500s–1600s ramuerse, 1600s ramverse; Scottish pre-1700 ramverse.

β. 1500s–1600s renuerse, 1500s–1700s renverse, 1600s–1700s ranverse; Scottish pre-1700 ranuerse, pre-1700 ranverse, pre-1700 renuerse, pre-1700 renvers, pre-1700 renverse, pre-1700 renwerse.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French renverser.
Etymology: < Middle French ranverser, renverser (French renverser ) to overturn, to turn upside down (1316 in Old French; earlier in an isolated attestation in sense ‘to cut (fabric) on the reverse side’ (1280)), (in Heraldry) to invert, reverse (a symbol) (1378), to change, to reverse (a sentence, situation, etc.) (a1410), to reject (a1467), to destroy, lay low (1496), to defeat, conquer (a1500) < re- re- prefix + enverser (see enversed adj.).In spite of the chronology, the α. forms apparently show a development from the β. forms, although compare Anglo-Norman remverter to cause to turn back (mid 13th cent. or earlier).
Obsolete.
1. transitive. To overturn or overthrow (literal and figurative); to bring to confusion.
