Why is it called a rolling pin?

Isn't it the opposite of a pin?

By what possible reasoning could you have come to that?

A pin is small and sharp, a rolling pin is large and blunt

>>10336486
not all pins are small or sharp, like a clothes-pin, I think you just kinda made that part up in your head yourself

Also, as a verb, to pin something doesn't necessarily involve something sharp or metal. I can pin someone with my body in martial arts, and in a sense that's kinda what you do to things like dough with a rolling pin.

My extended family is western Methodist and calls them flattening spokes after the folklore behind using part of a wagon wheel on the trail
