Moves in a circular path around a center point; turns or rotates; or means something centers around a particular idea or person.
From Latin 'revolvere' combining 're-' (back) with 'volvere' (to roll), literally meaning to roll back around. The meaning evolved from physical rotation to any kind of circular motion or the idea of something being centered on something else.
When we say 'everything revolves around you,' we're actually using an astronomy metaphor—just like planets revolve around the sun, we're describing how all attention or activity centers on one person.
