Etymology: Borrowed from French révolter, from Italian rivoltare, itself either from ri- with the verb voltare, or possibly from a Vulgar Latin *revoltāre < *revolvitāre, for *revolūtāre, frequentative of Latin revolvō (“roll back”) (through its past participle revolūtus).
Compare typologically Russian переворо́т (perevorót) (akin to верте́ть (vertétʹ).

The first recorded use of “insurrection” in English, indeed, is in parliamentary papers describing the armed revolt led by Jack Cade in 1450, who marched on London to protest against the corruption of Henry VI’s government. […] Thinking more metaphorically, his American contemporary James Russell Lowell wrote: “It is not the insurrections of ignorance that are dangerous, but the revolts of intelligence.” Had he lived to the year 2021, he might have changed his mind.
