Derived from the Latin 'eversio', meaning an overturning or destruction, from 'evertere' (to turn inside out or overthrow), combining 'e-' (out of) and 'vertere' (to turn). Entering English in the 17th century, the medical and anatomical sense later specialized to describe the turning outward or inside out of a bodily part.
