transverse(adj.)
transverse(v.)
late 14c., transversen, "cross, lie across; contradict, run counter," from past-participle stem of Latin transvertere "turn across," from trans "across" (see trans-) + vertere "to turn" (from PIE root *wer- (2) "to turn, bend").
The alternative verb transvert is recorded from late 14c. (transverten) "overturn, topple," based directly on the Latin verb, and lasted through 17c. Transversion "a turning across or athwart, intersection," also "transformation, perversion" is from 1650s.
