“Rock and Roll”–forgetting for-the-moment how that came to mean 'the type of music'–is (obviously) built on “Rock” & "Roll."
The verb “Rock” is built on ancient words that mean “Move |Gently |To-&-Fro/|Back-&-Forth” (to |Pull, |Tear, Pluck, move Jerkily; rock the Boat (|Stir-up Trouble), Rock-a-Bye). The noun carries the scent of "|Obelisk" (named after the ancestors of Mo?)
The word “Roll” is built on ancient words that mean “|Small |Wheel” (|Rotary).
