Definition of reversion

reversionnoun

sự trở lại

/rɪˈvɜːʃn//rɪˈvɜːrʒn/

The word "reversion" has its roots in Latin. It is derived from the words "re-" meaning "again" or "back" and "vertex" meaning "turn" or "direction". In Latin, the word "revertere" means "to turn back" or "to return". This Latin word was later adopted into Middle English as "reversioun", which referred to the act of turning or returning to a previous condition or state. In the 15th century, the word "reversion" began to take on a more specific meaning, referring to the return or restoration of something (such as a property or a right) to its original owner or a previous state. Today, "reversion" is often used in a legal or scientific context to describe the return to a previous condition or state, such as the reversion of a property to its original owner after a lease has expired.
