Etymology
The word 'unrolled' originates from the combination of 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'rolled' which refers to the action of rolling up something. The term has been in use for centuries, evolving from its literal meaning of physically rolling out an object to more abstract contexts such as social media features. The concept of unrolling has been associated with revealing, unfolding, or presenting something in its entirety.
