means Ornamental curling patterns—carved, cast, or wrought—used to decorate ironwork, furniture, and architecture.

from From 'scroll,' the rolled-up manuscript, whose coiled shape became the visual template for spiraling, curling ornament. The word 'scroll' itself traces back through Anglo-Norman 'escroe' (a roll or strip), related to 'shred.' So the metal curlicues on a gate owe their name to the humble rolled-up parchment they visually echo—'scrollwork' simply means work patterned after that familiar coiled form.
