Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

rĕversĭo (rĕvors-), ōnis, f. [reverto].

      1. 1. A turning back before reaching one’s destination (differing from reditus, a coming back, return): quam valde ille reditu vel potius reversione meă laetatus, Cic.
