词源

From Italian rotolo (“roll; rottol”). As a roll, from Late Latin rotulus (“little wheel”), from Latin rota (“wheel, rolling thing”) + -ulus (“-ule”, forming diminutives). As a unit of weight, from Arabic رُطْل (ruṭl), variant of classical رِطْل (riṭl), ultimately from Ancient Greek λίτρα (lítra).
