reverted

Reverted is the past tense and past participle of revert, meaning to return to a previous state, condition, or form after a change. It is used to describe actions that undo modifications or restore an earlier arrangement.

Etymology: Revert derives from Latin revertere, meaning to turn back, through Old French revertir. The sense of returning to an earlier state is retained in modern English use.

Common uses include computing, where a revert undoes a change; in version control, git revert creates a commit that reverses a previous one; in content management, a page can be reverted to an earlier revision. In legal or policy contexts, a rule or arrangement may revert to its former version after amendment.

Biology uses "reversion" and "reverted" to describe revertant mutations that restore ancestral traits. The term is versatile and relies on context to specify what is being turned back.
