Etymology

**Bouleversant** comes from the verb *bouleverser*, formed in the 16th c. by the Old French noun *boule* (from Latin *bulla*, “bubble, ball”) + *verser* “to pour.” Literally “to pour a ball,” it metaphorically meant to overturn or upset; the adjective *bouleversant* entered French in the 18th c. to describe something that profoundly shakes or moves people emotionally.
