Root Explanation

Antiroll is formed from "anti-" (meaning against) and "roll" (from Old English "rollian", meaning to turn over or rotate). The word describes something that works against rolling or turning over.

Memory Tip

Think of 'against' ('anti-') something that 'turns over' ('roll') — that's why antiroll means to prevent rolling.
