-While I was explaining my interest in etymology (recently rekindled by buying and reading [[Vico]]), I took the word ''versere'' (what I thought to be the [[infinitive]]) as an [[example]]. From it are derived [[transverse]], [[diverse]], [[perverse]], [[universe]], etc...  
-It turns out that its root is [[verto]].+#[[situated]] or [[lying]] [[across]]; side to side, [[relative]] to some [[defined]] "forward" direction
 +'''Transverse''' may refer to:
 +*[[Transversality]], a concept related to the intersection of <span class="plainlinks">[[manifold]]s</span> in topology
 +*[[Transverse City]], an album by Warren Zevon
 +*[[Transverse engine]], an engine in which the crankshaft is oriented side-to-side relative to the wheels of the vehicle
 +*[[Transverse flute]], a flute that is held horizontally
 +*[[Transverse plane]], the plane orthogonal to the anteroposterior or oral-aboral axis; see [[Anatomical terms of location]]
