From Latin ''everte'', meaning "to throw out" and ''statum'', meaning "stand". This implies that it would cause the victim to be thrown from their standing position, which most notably coincides with the effect seen in the films.
The use of the Latin word 'Everte' backs this up as it basically means 'to throw out' and “statua”, meaning “image”.
