invert
英 [?n'v??t]
美 ['?nv?t]
- vt. 使…轉(zhuǎn)化；使…顛倒；使…反轉(zhuǎn)；使…前后倒置
- n. 顛倒的事物；倒置物；倒懸者
- adj. 轉(zhuǎn)化的
助記提示
1、in- "in, on" + vert-.
2、字面含義：turn inside out or turn outside in. => turn upside down.
3、反正就是外面的轉(zhuǎn)到里面去，對(duì)應(yīng)的里面的自然就會(huì)被轉(zhuǎn)到外面來了；這是轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)一個(gè)東西的時(shí)候很自然的現(xiàn)象和規(guī)律。由此引申為：反轉(zhuǎn)、顛倒、前后倒置。
