Etymology
Invers comes from French inverse, itself from Latin inversus, the past participle of invertere, to turn upside down. Invertere is built from in- (into, upon) and vertere (to turn). Romanian took the word through the wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized its vocabulary in the 19th century.
