Common Misspellings for UNROLL

Etymology of UNROLL

The word unroll originates from the combination of two words: un- and roll.

The prefix un- is a commonly used prefix in English that means not or reverse the action of. It is derived from Old English and can be traced back to the Germanic language family.

The word roll comes from the Old French verb rouler, which means to roll or wrap up. It is connected to the Latin word rotulus, meaning a small wheel or scroll.

So, when the prefix un- is added to roll, it creates the word unroll, which means to reverse the action of rolling or to unwind or unfurl something that has been rolled up.
