The word "enrollment" derives from the Old French "enroller" (to record in a register), which combines "en-" (in, into) and "rolle" (a list or scroll). The suffix "-ment" was added to form a noun indicating the action or result of enrolling. The concept traces back to medieval record-keeping practices, where names were literally written on rolls of parchment.
