scrolls
Ancient rolled manuscripts
Scrolls are ancient documents made by rolling parchment or papyrus around a rod, the standard format for written texts before bound books emerged.
The word extends to any rolled paper or decorative spiral shape.
As a verb, scroll means to move text or images across a screen, typically up or down: I was scrolling through my feed when I saw the news.
This digital sense dominates contemporary usage, giving rise to doomscrolling and the endless scroll of social media.
