It's not any more or less intuitive to me than nip and over.
Where there's three or more items to be manipulated there's always at least ambiguity which way rot is supposed to rotate according to codebase author. With more than three items it's easy to see what can be done but no unambiguous and meaningful names. The only consistent stack word names that work 4 items deep are 2dup and 2drop.
