Etymology

The word "revolve" originates from Latin "revolvere," combining "re-" (back, again) and "volvere" (to roll). It entered Middle English via Old French, retaining the core idea of cyclical motion. The "-ing" suffix forms the present participle, describing continuous action. The logic reflects objects turning repeatedly (e.g., planets, wheels) or systems (e.g., revolving credit) that cycle resources.
