ETIMOLOGIA DE "VERSO":
verso (VUR-so) noun
1. A left-hand page.
2. The back of a page.
[Short for Latin verso folio, from verso (turned) and folio (leaf).From versus (turning), from vertere (to turn). Ultimately from theIndo-European root wer- (to turn or bend), also the source of wring,weird, writhe, worth, revert, and universe.]
The counterpart of this word is recto, the right-hand page.
Perhaps the use of VERSO to designate the poetic phrase may be linked with the use, somewhere in the past, of the poetry on VERSO and the corresponding illustration of the passage by an image on RECTO. But I'm not sure on this....Anyone have some clues on it?
