Enrolle

/ɛnˈroʊl/ noun

Definition

Etymology

From enroll (en- + roll, from Old French rolle, meaning 'a list') + -e (variant spelling suffix). An archaic variant of 'enrollee.'

Kelly Says

This spelling shows how English spelling wasn't standardized until recently—'enrolle' is the French-influenced version, while 'enrollee' is the more modern English form, both meaning the same thing.
