enrol
UK: ɪnˈrəʊl | US: ɪnˈroʊl
vt. to officially register or enlist someone in a list, group, or course
vi. to join or become a member of an organization or program
The word "enrol" originates from the Old French "enroller," combining "en-" (meaning "in" or "into") and "rolle" (meaning "a roll or list"). Historically, official records were kept on rolled parchment, so "enrolling" literally meant adding a name to such a list. Over time, the spelling simplified to "enrol" in British English (while "enroll" is more common in American English), retaining the core idea of registration or inclusion in a formal record.
