reverse

[green_giant]

If 'to reverse' means to undo or go backwards, does 'verse' mean go forward or redo?

[Peter Pedant]

no or should I say Yes !

If I bend something, like your ear, and then bend it back, do I unbend it ?

or bend it some more ?

If I am unbending it, does that mean that I am straightening it? If I am unbending, does that mean i am rebending everything or being inflexible ?

Ruduplication - is that four times or only two ?

English is like this I am afraid....

[joko]

the letters RE don't always mean that i.e, red, rent, rest, retail, regulate, etc etc

[jno]

one side of a coin is the reverse. The other side is the obverse.

[kempie]

Verso is from the Latin for 'to turn'.

'Reverse' is synonymous with 'return' and 'revert'.

[ludwig]

If verse did mean to go forward, then reverse would mean to go forward again.
