The name “Rick” (short for Richard ... which is also abbreviated "Dick" for some reason) is built on “Brave Ruler.”
The word “Roll” is built on “|Wheel” (|Rotary ... somehow also-meaning "List, Catalogue, |Register" (e.g. Roll-Call ... I imagine it's from 'such a list' being #RolledUp on a |Scroll) ... 'drum-roll'-etc. from "|Imitation of the Sound of a rolling |Bowling-|Ball or |Boulder").
The prefix “Mis-” (of "Misdirect") is built on “|Bad, Wrong, Divergent, |Astray” (|Difference, Change).
