Universe = Uni-Verse
There are multiple ways to break this down.
Uni-Verse = One story (we're all co-creating a story/song here)
Uni-Verse = Uni-Vs. = Facing oneself
"Verse" comes from the Proto-Indo-European root "wer" which means "to turn." So that would equate Universe to "Turning into one."
Also, "wer" is speculated to be related to some words in other languages too: Sanskrit vartate "turns round, rolls;" Avestan varet- "to turn;" Hittite hurki- "wheel." So here we get a lot of "turning wheel" references, which brings us to the Buddhist concept of Samsara (the wheel of reincarnation that beings get trapped in until they become enlightened). This hints at the universe being the wheel of Samsara.
I'd say the Universe is all of the above, and more!
