v.

late 14c., “to change direction, bend around, turn (the eyes) back,” from Old French revolver and directly from Latin revolvere “roll back, unroll, unwind; happen again, return; go over, repeat,” from re- “back, again” (see re-) + volvere “to roll” (see volvox). In 15c., “to turn over (in the mind or heart), meditate.” Meaning “travel around a central point” first recorded 1660s (earlier “cause to travel in an orbit around a central point,” mid-15c.).
