    In scientific disciplines such as physics and optics, invert can describe the process of flipping an image or flipping the colors in an image. This is commonly achieved by using optical devices or computer software to reverse the orientation or coloration of the original image.

    In the context of linguistics, invert can also mean to reverse the usual word order in a sentence. This often occurs for stylistic or poetic reasons, or to emphasize a specific element within the sentence.
