    Reversionary refers to anything pertaining to or characterized by reversion - the act of returning or going back. In finance or law, it can be a term relating to the return of property to the original owner or their heirs after a predetermined period or event. This could be due to a lease agreement ending, the death of a grantee, or a specified condition being met. It could also denote a property that is subject to reversion. In a broader sense, it could also mean regressing to a former state or moving back to an earlier behavior, trend or condition.
