obverse
英 ['ɒbvɜːs]
美 ['ɑbvɝs]
- n. 正面；对立面；主要的一面
- adj. 正面的；[植] 倒转的；对应面的
助记提示
1、ob- "toward, against" + vers- + -e.
2、含义：turn toward or against, turned against, directed toward. => turned toward the observer, frontal.
3、也就是转到对立面、转到对应面，转到面前形成对峙的局面，转到面对面的对立、对峙局面；从常识来讲，去对抗、对峙肯定都是使用正面或者主要的一面或者旗鼓相当的一面嘛。
