Roller audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Roller" — noun, pronounced /ˈrəʊlə/, with the stress on "rol".
Narrator: A roller is a cylinder that turns, used for pressing, rolling or flattening, or a large sea wave.
Narrator: In plain English, a roller is a cylindrical tool — like a paint roller or a rolling pin, or a big breaking wave.
Narrator: It comes from the verb roll, from the Latin rotulare, meaning to roll, from rotula, a small wheel.
Narrator: "A paint roller" describes a cylindrical tool for spreading paint on walls.
Narrator: It differs from cylinder because roller implies movement, whereas cylinder is a static shape.
Narrator: "A roller of a wave" is a sense meaning a large, rolling sea wave.
Narrator: Decorating, baking, engineering and the sea all rely on the word roller.
Narrator: So remember: a roller is a turning cylinder, from the Latin for a small wheel.
