The thing every empire calls treason until it loses, then calls history.
means A forcible overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system, or more broadly any sweeping, fundamental change in the way things are done.
from From Latin 'revolvere,' to roll back or turn around (re-, 'back,' plus 'volvere,' 'to roll' — a cousin of 'volume' and 'voluble'). It first described the stately turning of the heavens — planets revolving in their orbits — and only later spun down to earth to mean the violent turning-over of a state. So the word that once tracked the motion of stars came to name the moment a people decide to change which way the world spins.
