It’s not certain what “rote” is from, but it’s probably from Latin “rota”, which means, among other things, “round” as in “Row, row, row your boat,” because, in a round, you hear the same bit of music over and over and over again.

You NEED rote for things like multiplication tables. It frees your mind for thought. And Frazz / Jef is not arch. He’s just unusually smart and the intellect simply shines right through. Don’t criticize; learn to appreciate genius.
