Word to the Wise: Bouleversement

A "bouleversement" (bool-vare-suh-MAWN) - is a total reversal. The word is from the French for "to overturn."

Example (as used by F. Scott Fitzgerald in This Side of Paradise): "For the second time in his life Amory had had a complete bouleversement and was hurrying into line with his generation."
