Reveˊrsed [in Herald.]
Reveˊrsed [in Herald.] turned back, or upside doen.
When a man bears in his escutcheon another reversed, it is a
mark of his having ravished a maid or widow, or that he has
run away from his sovereign’s banner: Or, when a man’s own
escutcheon is reversed entirely, it is a mark of his being a
traitor.
