Светлой памяти Нины Макаровны Чередеевой-


אֵין כָּל חָדָשׁ תַּחַת הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ ☀︎ ܡܰܓ݁ܳܢ ܢܣܰܒ݂ܬ݁ܽܘܢ ܡܰܓ݁ܳܢ ܗܰܒ݂ܘ ☀︎ وَعِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ

It turns out...

English worth goes back to a common Indo-European root denoting circular motion: wert- 'to turn; revolve'. The latter is central to many concepts, including English advert, convert, divert, pervert, subvert (all spinning around Latin verto 'to turn'); Russian вертеть(ся) [vertjét'(sja)] 'turn; revolve; spin' and (воз)вратить(ся) [(voz)vratít'(sja)] 'to (re)turn'; and German werden 'to become'. Everything rotates in the Universe!
