verse[verse 词源字典]

verse: [OE] Verse is one of a large family of English words that come ultimately from the Latin verb vertere or its past participial stem vers-. Others include versatile [17], version [16], versus [15], vertebra, vertical, and vertigo, as well as prefixed forms such as controversy [14], conversation, convert, diverse, invert [16], pervert [14], and reverse [14].

Latin vertere itself came from the Indo-European base *wert-, which also produced English weird and the suffix -ward. Verse was borrowed from the Latin derivative versus ‘turning, turning of the plough’, hence ‘furrow’, and by further metaphorical extension ‘line, line of poetry’.
