Etymology
Aniversare comes from the verb a aniversa, itself formed on the French anniversaire, with the deverbal noun suffix -are added to mark the act or event. French anniversaire in turn descends from Latin anniversarius, a compound of annus (year) and versus, the past participle of vertere (to turn). The underlying sense is a date that turns around again each year.
