The word opposite of "reverse" is actually "obverse."

Context of usage is very important here though. Obverse is only the opposite of reverse when u are referring to the two sides of a coin or any other two sided object. Front - Obverse, Back - Reverse. You can't say "obversing" is the opposite of "reversing" your car. www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obverse_and_reverse

Ok. But if I am asked what the word opposite of "Reverse", I have to answer "Observe" right?
