Etymology

The word "enrolment" traces back to Old French enroller (to record on a roll), combining en- (a prefix meaning "in") and rolle (a list or scroll). The suffix -ment was added to form a noun indicating the action or result of enrolling. Historically, records were kept on rolled parchment, hence the connection to "roll." Over time, the spelling evolved to "enrolment" in British English (vs. "enrollment" in American English), but both retain the core idea of adding names to a formal list.
