Summary: The Latin root word *volv* and its variants *volut* and *volt* mean "roll" or "turn round." These roots are the word origins of a fair number of English vocabulary words, including re[*volv*]e, in[*vol*]ve, e[*volut*]ion, and re[*volt*]. The roots *volv* and *volut* are easily recalled through the words in[*volv*]e, or "roll" in, and re[*volut*]ion, or a "rolling" back against a current government or other system in power.
