Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English universe, from Old French univers, from Latin universum (all things, as a whole, the universe), neuter of universus, from uni-, combining form of unus (one) + versus (turned), perfect passive participle of vertō (to turn). Analyzable as uni verse through backformation of -verse.
