1、开头 contra- 是"对着、相反",后半截是"小卷"(contrārotulus = contra 对着 + rotulus 小卷,rota 是轮子):从前对账要备一份反着核的副本账卷,两本账对着逐条勾,就叫 control。
2、因为本来的画面是"对着核账",所以它和 contrary(相反的)最亲;想到两本账,就不会把它记成只有"遥控"的意思。
3、拼写读音:重音在后 /kənˈtroʊl/,第一个 o 轻读;现在分词双写 l(controlling),名词 controller 只有一个 l;官方头衔里还留着旧拼法 comptroller,别被它带跑。

英语词源

control
control: [15] Implausible as it may seem, control’s closest relative in English is contrarotating. It has its origins in a medieval method of checking accounts which involved a duplicate register, or ‘counter-roll’, as it was known (contrārotulus in medieval Latin, contrā meaning ‘opposite’ and rotulus being the diminutive of rota ‘wheel’).

From the medieval Latin noun a verb was formed, contrārotulāre, meaning ‘check accounts by such means’, and hence ‘exert authority’. This passed into English via Anglo-Norman contreroller. The spelling of the agent noun controller as comptroller, still encountered in certain official designations, arises from an erroneous 16th-century association of the first syllable with count, from late Latin computus.

=> rota, rotate
control (v.)
early 14c., "to check, verify, regulate," from Anglo-French contreroller "exert authority," from Medieval Latin contrarotulus "a counter, register," from Latin contra- "against" (see contra) + rotulus, diminutive of rota "wheel" (see roll (n.)). From a medieval method of checking accounts by a duplicate register. Sense of "dominate, direct" is mid-15c. Related: Controlled; controlling.

Control group in scientific experiments is attested from 1952 (from a sense of control attested since 1875).
control (n.)
1580s, from control (v.). Control freak is late 1960s slang.
