The word volume is derived from the Latin word volvere, which means to turn or roll.
The connection may not be obvious at first; keep in mind that in ancient days, publications were often in the form of rolled-up manuscripts (think of the Jewish torah as a modern-day example). Therefore, a volume (book) would have been a rolled-up scroll; and the longer the scroll, the larger its volume (size or capacity).
