rotolon.

Brit.

/ˈrɒtələʊ/, U.S.

/ˈrɑdəloʊ/

Inflections: Plural rotoli, rotolos.

Forms: 1500s–1700s rotello, 1600s rotola, 1600s rottala, 1600s rottola, 1600s rottollies (plural), 1600s rottula, 1600s rotula, 1600s–1800s rottolo, 1700s rottelo, 1700s–1800s rottello, 1700s– rotolo, 1800s rottolis (plural).

Origin: A borrowing from Italian. Etymon: Italian rotolo.

Etymology: < Italian rotolo (a1292; plural rotoli ) < Arabic ruṭl rottol n. Compare post-classical Latin rotulus , denoting a dry measure (12th cent. or earlier, especially in Italian sources); also rotulum (12th cent. in an Italian source), rotula (13th cent. in British sources; also in continental sources), both denoting a liquid measure. Compare also the apparently unrelated earlier rote n.⁴In plural form rotoli after the Italian plural form. In forms rottolis, rottollies with an English plural suffix added to the Italian plural form. Apparently reinterpreted in Italian as containing the diminutive suffix -olo (see -ule suffix), or (in forms with -e- ) the diminutive suffix -ello -ello suffix. With forms in -ula compare the classical Latin diminutive suffix -ula -ula suffix and also post-classical Latin rotula, although this apparently denotes a liquid measure.
