The verb *volver* comes from the Latin word *volvere*, meaning 'to roll' or 'to turn.' This root is why *volver* can mean both 'to return' (to turn back) and 'to turn/flip' (to roll over).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'volver' sometimes change to 'vuelvo' but 'volvamos' doesn't change to 'vuelvamos'?
This is a common pattern in Spanish irregular verbs that have a vowel change (like o>ue). The change usually happens only in the 'boot' forms (I, you, he/she, they). The 'we' (nosotros) and 'you all' (vosotros) forms usually keep the original vowel, making them easier to remember.
How do I use 'volvamos' to mean 'Let's do something again'?
You use the structure 'volver a' + infinitive. For example, 'Volvamos a llamar' means 'Let's call again,' or 'Volvamos a leer' means 'Let's read again.' It's a very useful structure!
