reverse button

reverse button meaning

A left-pointing triangle — the reverse or rewind button, the mirror of play. It means going backwards, playing in reverse. It is used far less than play, because forward is the default direction of nearly everything. Figuratively it means undoing, reversing course, or wanting to go back to how things were before.
