Etymology
Borrowed from Latin ūniversum (“all things, as a whole, the universe”), neuter of ūniversus (“all together, whole, entire, collective, general, literally turned or combined into one”), from ūni-, combining form of ūnus (“one”) + versus (“turned”), perfect passive participle of verto (“to turn”). See: Latin Nouns '
ūniversum'.
