Origin of the word rollerball

The word "rollerball" has a fascinating origin story. It's a blend of two words: "roller" and "ball." The "roller" part refers to the roller skates worn by the players in the sport, while the "ball" signifies the object used in the game, similar to a football but much larger. This combination arose in the 1970s when the sport was invented and gained popularity. The name perfectly captures the essence of the game, combining the speed of roller skates with the intensity of a ball game.
