Meaning: upside down?
"...he was a botcher, cheese-eater, and trimmer of mans flesh imbalmed, which in the arsiversie swagfall tumble was not found true."
--François Rabelais, Gargantua and Pantagruel
I think this word means "upside down." It's hard to find a definition for it.... I've always enjoyed looking at the topsy-turvy sky and world you can see on the surface of a calm lake. One dropped pebble and the universe is destroyed in a burst of concentric circles.

Hi malechi,
arsiversie has the more prosaic spelling of arsy-varsy. It's a most descriptive and visual word isn't it? The image I get is having one's arse in the air. ;P
