Versus comes from the Latin word, against. We find it in our English words adversary and adverse, among others.

It is not a verb, therefore cannot be used as a verb at all. However, English is a changing language, and young people now ask their football coaches, "Who are we versing this week?", so it is gradually being accepted into the language.
