Etymology
Versatility comes from the old Latin root vers- and the verb vertere, which mean 'to turn', and you can see the same idea in familiar words like reverse and convert. So, something versatile can 'turn' easily from one job or skill to another, which is why versatility means the ability to adapt to many different uses.
