Root Explanation

Rollup → It is formed from "roll" (from Old English "rollian", meaning to turn over or to roll) and "up" (meaning to a higher position or level). The word "rollup" describes the action of rolling something up to a higher position or compact form.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'turned over' ('roll') and then moved 'up' — that's how you remember that 'rollup' means to roll something into a compact form.
