/ˈrəʊlbæk//ˈrəʊlbæk/

The term "rollback" has its roots in the late 18th century in the United States. In the context of agriculture, a "roll back" referred to the act of rolling back the soil to smooth out its surface, often to improve drainage or facilitate harvesting. This practice was common in fields where crops were grown, such as wheat, oats, and cereals. Over time, the phrase evolved to encompass broader meanings. In the 1940s and 1950s, "rollback" began to be used in contexts like business and engineering, where it referred to the act of reversing or retracting something, like a process, a decision, or a technical implementation. Today, the term "rollback" is universally applied to describe the act of reverting to an earlier state or version, whether in software, databases, pricing, or even social dynamics.
