The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
rollback
Reverting data in a database to an earlier state,
usually in response to an error or aborted operation.
In a transaction based database system, transactions are
considered atomic. If an error occurs while performing a
transaction, the database is automatically rolled back
to the state at the previous commit.
Rollback may also be performed by an explicit rollback
transaction.
