Turning = CONVERSION with AT inside = around

A converse situation can be one that has been transposed or turned round. Chat also = conversation

I took it as double def (see Chambers).

Latin root vertere to turn.

I also parsed it as Cap'n did, not saying there's no other way.

Well done Captain. I thought for one awful moment it was something to do with the way some people relate a conversation as:
He turned round and said, "..." and then I turned round and said "..." and then he turned round and said "..."
