Etymology

The word 'unroll' originated from the combination of 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'roll' meaning 'to move by turning over and over'.

In recent years, with the rise of social media platforms like Twitter, 'unroll' has also taken on a new meaning in the context of posting a series of tweets as a threaded conversation.
