Note
A regular plural whose spelling does double duty: it is also the present-tense verb form, as in a worm that introverts an organ or a thinker who introverts in solitude. As a noun it usually names people whose attention turns inward, though zoologists use it for the retractable front parts of annelid worms. Using it to mean merely shy or reserved is frowned upon, so keep it for the personality sense.
