Etymology
Inherited from Vulgar Latin *arrot(u)lāre, *rotulāre, from Latin rotāre (“to turn, to wheel”). The lack of diphthongization (**arruejo) is due to the palatalization of the -tl- > -cl- cluster to , then Old Spanish , raising the previous vowel to close — compare Latin oculus, which gave rise to Spanish ojo (not **huejo).
