Definitions from the Web

Inverted (Adjective)

Description:

An "inverted" adjective refers to a word that has been rearranged in order to form a different sentence structure or to emphasize a specific element.

Sense 1:

When used in grammar, an "inverted" adjective typically refers to changing the order of a subject and verb in a sentence for emphasis or stylistic purposes. For example, instead of saying "She loves him," an inverted form would be "Him, she loves." This inversion draws attention to the object of affection.

Example sentence: Him, she loves with her whole heart and soul.

Sense 2:

In literary terms, an "inverted" adjective can also describe a situation where an adjective appears after the noun it modifies, instead of before it. This stylistic choice is often used to create emphasis, poetic effects, or to convey a certain tone. For instance, instead of saying "a beautiful flower," an inverted form would be "a flower beautiful." This inversion places emphasis on the beauty of the flower.

Example sentence: Amidst the garden stood a flower beautiful, captivating every passerby.
