  "textContent": "The word for today is…\n\nrevolt (verb, noun) -\n\n_intransitive verb_\n1a: to renounce allegiance or subjection (as to a government) : rebel - often used with against\nb: to act in or show opposition or disobedience\n2a: to experience disgust or shock\nb: to turn away with disgust —usually used with from\n\n _transitive verb_\n: to cause to turn away or shrink with disgust or abhorrence\n\n _noun_\n1: a renouncing of allegiance (as to a government or party), especially : a determined armed uprising\n2: a movement or expression of vigorous dissent\n\nSource : Merriam-Webster\n\nEtymology : Revolution and revolt have a shared origin, both ultimately going back to the Latin revolvere “to revolve, roll back.” When revolution first appeared in English in the 14th century, it referred to the movement of a celestial body in orbit; that sense was extended to “a progressive motion of a body around an axis,” “completion of a course,” and other senses suggesting regularity of motion or a predictable return to an original position. At virtually the same time, the word developed a sharply different meaning, namely, ”a sudden radical, or complete change,” apparently from the idea of reversal of direction implicit in the Latin verb. Revolt , which initially meant “to renounce allegiance,” grew from the same idea of “rolling back,” in this case from a prior bond of loyalty.\n\n**_If you enjoyed this Good Oil word of the day please consider sharing it with your friends and, especially, your children._**",
