Volume is the amount of space something takes up, or how loud a sound is, or one book in a series.
From Old French “volume,” from Latin “volumen,” meaning “roll, scroll,” from “volvere,” meaning “to roll.” It first referred to rolled-up scrolls and later expanded to space and quantity.
The same word connects how loud music is, how big a box is, and which book you’re on in a series. In science, volume measures 3D space, but in everyday life people mostly think of volume as the twist of a knob on a speaker.
