Morphology

rollover = roll (semi-transparent) = over + roll

The sense of carrying an unused allowance forward is related to 'roll over', but the exact billing-period meaning is conventional and not fully literal. [Postprocessing: moved 'over' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Rollover comes from the words roll and over, a picture of 'carrying something into the next period' by rolling it forward. So a mobile or subscription rollover means unused minutes or data are moved into the next month.
