roll[roll 词源字典]

roll: English has two words roll, both of which go back ultimately to Latin rotulus ‘small wheel’, a diminutive form of rota ‘wheel’ (source of English rotate, rotund, round, etc). This passed via Old French rolle into English as roll ‘rolledup parchment’ [13]. The modern French version of the word has given English role [17], whose underlying notion is of a ‘rolled-up’ piece of paper with the actor’s lines written on it. From rotulus was derived the Vulgar Latin verb *rotulāre, which has given English its verb roll [14]. Control comes from the same source.
