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.
=> control, rota, rotate, round - roll (n.)
- early 13c., "rolled-up piece of parchment or paper" (especially one inscribed with an official record), from Old French rolle "document, parchment scroll, decree" (12c.), from Medieval Latin rotulus "a roll of paper" (source also of Spanish rollo, Italian rullo), from Latin rotula "small wheel," diminutive of rota "wheel" (see rotary).

- c. 1300 "turn over and over, move by rotating" (intransitive); late 14c. as "to move (something) by turning it over and over;" from Old French roeller "roll, wheel round" (Modern French rouler), from Medieval Latin rotulare, from Latin rotula, diminutive of rota "wheel" (see rotary).
