Definition
In typography and printing, a page that faces the reader (the opposite of verso); sometimes used as a Latin legal term.
Etymology
Pure Latin: 'adversus' (turned toward, facing). In printing, it refers to the right-hand page you see when opening a book (literally 'facing toward you'), opposite to 'verso' (the back or left page).
Kelly Says
Rare in English except in book typography and law, 'adversus' is a living Latin term that book designers and archivists still use—and it's genuinely easier than saying 'the right-hand page,' which is why it survives in specialized fields.
