Forms: 1700s– roster, 1800s roaster, 1800s rollster, 1800s rolster.

Origin: Apparently a borrowing from Dutch. Etymon: Dutch rooster.

Etymology: Apparently < Dutch rooster table, list, an extended use of rooster gridiron, grill (1240 in Middle Dutch as roestre ; < roosten roast v. + -er -er suffix¹), in allusion to the grid drawn on the paper, although the relevant sense is first recorded later (1782) in dictionaries of Dutch.In forms with medial -l- , -ll- probably by association with roll n.¹ A pronunciation to rhyme with poster is recorded for British English in editions of D. Jones Eng. Pronouncing Dict., 1937–89. This may also be reflected in the earlier spelling roaster, and may perhaps ultimately reflect the long vowel of Dutch rooster.

1. Military. A list or plan showing the order of rotation of duties and service of individual soldiers or troops. Also (esp. U.S.): a simple list or register of soldiers, divisions of a regiment, etc., with various particulars relating to them.
