Etymology of SCROLL

The word "scroll" originated from the Old French word "escroe" or "escroue", which meant "a roll" or "a scroll of parchment". This Old French term ultimately derived from the Latin word "scroda", which referred to a scrap or piece of paper. The Latin term itself may have been influenced by Greek words such as "skhedios" and "skhida", both meaning "splinter" or "chip". Over time, the word "scroll" came to specifically indicate a roll of parchment, paper, or other materials used for writing or preserving important documents.
