To turn inside out or outward; to flip or invert something completely.
From Latin 'evertere,' combining 'e-' (out) and 'vertere' (to turn). Used in anatomy, medicine, and general English to describe the action of turning something inside out or reversing its position.
Medical students use 'evert' when studying anatomy—if you evert your eyelid, you literally flip it inside out, which is why the term stuck around in medical language for over 500 years!
