DERIVATIVES

revolutionist |-nist|noun

ORIGIN late Middle English: from Old French, or from late Latin revolutio(n-), from revolvere 'roll back' (see revolve).

DERIVATIVES

evolutional |-SHənl|adjective,
evolutionally |-(ə)lē|adverb,
evolutionarily |ˌevəˌlo͞oSHəˈne(ə)rəlē|adverb,
evolutionary |-ˌnerē|adjective,
evolutive |-ˈlo͞otiv|adjective

ORIGIN early 17th cent.: from Latin evolutio(n-) 'unrolling,' from the verb evolvere (see evolve). Early senses related to physical movement, first recorded in describing a tactical "wheeling" maneuver in the realignment of troops or ships. Current senses stem from a notion of "opening out" and "unfolding," giving rise to a general sense of 'development.'

About to embark on a journey sparked by another's blog. It's too soon to reveal any details because I first want to let the terms "Revolution and Evolution" sink in. This isn't about war and peace or apes becoming human. Don't have time for all of that. This is about the digital revolution and its ongoing evolution in our day to day life.

Stay tuned!
