Etymology

The term 'bankroll' originated in the early 20th century, combining 'bank' which refers to a financial institution, and 'roll', which is derived from the late 19th-century slang that meant a roll of money or a stack of cash. Its usage began to gain traction particularly in gambling contexts, where players referred to the amount of money they had set aside for betting. Over time, the term expanded beyond gambling to finance and investment, reflecting a broader meaning of available funds. The evolution of the word illustrates a connection to wealth and monetary management, emphasizing its relevance in various economic discussions.
