Definition
Moving in a circular path around a center or axis; rotating continuously. Can also describe something that repeats cyclically or returns to its starting point.
Etymology
From Latin 'revolvere' meaning 'to roll back', composed of 're-' (back) and 'volvere' (to roll). The word entered English in the 14th century, initially meaning to consider or ponder, later developing the physical rotation sense.
Kelly Says
The word 'revolving' shares its Latin root with 'volume' - both come from the rolling motion, whether of ancient scrolls or celestial bodies. This is why we have 'revolutions' in both astronomy and politics - they both involve complete cycles that return to a starting point.
