rolling off

Sliding away from

Rolling off describes something gradually moving away from a surface, often by rotating: The ball kept rolling off the table.

In workplace contexts, it means transitioning off a project or assignment: She's rolling off this account next month.

Audio engineers use it for gradually reducing certain frequencies: rolling off the bass below 80 Hz.
