roto
Turning word part
Roto is short for rotogravure, a printing process that uses engraved cylinders, or for rotisserie—particularly in fantasy sports, where roto leagues score players by cumulative statistics rather than head-to-head matchups.
In compound words, roto- signals rotation: roto-molding, Roto-Rooter.
