Take the 2-minute tour ×  If something is inside out, can it be
said that the object is inverted?  My understanding of the word
inverted is simply "the opposite state," but I would like to get
a bit of clarification just to be sure.  share|improve this
question invert in a broad, general sense; evert in a more
precise, technically correct way. –  Kris Jan 19 '12 at 9:07  4
Answers 4  up vote 11 down vote accepted  The word you're
looking for is everted (turned inside out). Sorry if it's a bit
stomach-churning, but here are 884 written references to everted
stomachs. Surprisingly, most of them are nothing to do with
dissected dead specimens - quite a few animals evert their
stomachs to feed, including starfish.  Inverted can also mean
inside out, but then it can mean 'swapped' in all sorts of other
ways too.  share|improve this answer +1 - I've never heard of
the word before, but it certainly is helpful to know. –  George
