SCROLLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Scrolled is the past tense of the verb "scroll." To scroll means to move or glide smoothly through content on a digital screen or a paper document, typically using a scroll bar, a touchpad, a mouse wheel, or finger gestures on a touchscreen device.
In the digital context, scrolling refers to the action of extending or contracting the displayed content on a screen, either vertically or horizontally, to view additional information beyond the visible limits of the screen. This action allows users to smoothly navigate through webpages, documents, images, or other media displayed on a computer, smartphone, tablet, or similar electronic devices.
When referring to paper documents, scrolling involves physically rolling or unrolling a sheet of paper or parchment—often with writing or illustrations—around a cylindrical instrument, such as a wooden or metal rod, to view and read different sections of the document. Historically, scrolls were used extensively in ancient civilizations as a means of recording and preserving written content before the advent of bound books.
In a broader sense, "scrolled" describes an action or a state of having scrolled through digital or paper content, indicating that a person has moved or explored the content by scrolling. This term is often used in the context of online reading, browsing, or navigating through extended documents, webpages, social media feeds, articles, or any other scrollable interface.
