Morphology

anti-roll = roll (transparent) = anti + roll

The meaning is directly compositional: anti- means against or preventing, and roll refers to rolling motion.

Etymology

The word anti-roll comes from anti- meaning 'against' and roll meaning 'to turn or tip over'. Think of it as saying 'against rolling', so an anti-roll feature helps keep a car or boat steady on turns.
