rollings

Continuous turning motions

Rollings is the plural of rolling, which as a noun refers to instances of something rolling or being rolled.

The word appears in technical contexts—steel rollings, tobacco rollings—and in phrases describing repeated motion: the rollings of the ship in heavy seas.

More commonly, rolling functions as an adjective or verb form rather than a countable noun.
