A list or schedule showing the order in which people take turns doing something, like work shifts or chores.
From Latin 'rota' meaning 'wheel.' The connection is metaphorical—duties rotate like a wheel, with different people taking turns.
The word 'rota' comes from the same Latin 'rota' as 'rotary' and 'rotate'—it's a brilliant metaphor because actual wheels have been humans' symbol for cycles and repetition for over 5,000 years.
