"Versatility" comes from the Latin word "versatilis," meaning "capable of turning or being turned." This word itself is a combination of "vertere," meaning "to turn," and the suffix "-ilis," meaning "able to." Therefore, "versatility" essentially means "the ability to turn or be turned" and has evolved to describe the ability to adapt to different situations, roles, or purposes. It captures the concept of being flexible and adaptable, much like something that can be turned easily in various directions.
