What is the root word of volume?

The root word of "volume" is vol.

"Vol" comes from the Latin word volūmen, meaning "a roll," referring to scrolls of papyrus or parchment. This makes sense when you think of the term "volume" as a measure of the space a three-dimensional object occupies, like a rolled-up scroll.
