[R]evolution

evolution

ORIGIN early 17th cent.: from Latin evolutio(n-) 'unrolling,' from the verb evolvere (see evolve ). Early senses related to physical movement, first recorded in describing a tactical "wheeling" maneuver in the realignment of troops or ships. Current senses stem from a notion of "opening out" and "unfolding," giving rise to a general sense of [development.]

revolution

ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French, or from late Latin revolutio(n-), from revolvere 'roll back' (see revolve).

revolve

ORIGIN late Middle English (in the senses [turn (the eyes) back,] [restore,] [consider] ): from Latin revolvere, from re- 'back' (also expressing intensive force) + volvere 'roll.'
