Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old French 'volume' (scroll, book), originating from Latin 'volumen' meaning a roll of written paper or a scroll, stemming from the verb 'volvere' meaning to roll or turn. Over time, the physical sense of a rolled scroll expanded to signify a book, a single book of a multi-volume work, and ultimately the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object or the intensity of sound.
