Probably from metathesis of an earlier *rovessar, from Old Spanish revessar, from Late Latin reversāre, from Latin versāre. Compare Portuguese revessar, Italian rovesciare and Romanian revărsa. See also bosar (to vomit), from Old Spanish bossar, which was either a derivative of the verb or alternatively from Latin vorsāre, versāre, or *vulsāre. Rebosar may have resulted from the crossing of revesar and bosar.[1]
