Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin revolutio ('a turn-around'), stemming from the Latin verb revolvere. It entered Middle English in the 14th century primarily in an astronomical sense, denoting the cyclical movement of celestial bodies, before evolving by the 17th century to signify a radical, sweeping overthrow of a political regime or social order.
