Might the {\rm text} notation be LISP-inspired syntax? Replace the braces with parentheses and remove the slash and you get `(rm text)`

Somehow \mbox is the opposite though (see the examples) : https://www.tutorialspoint.com/tex_commands/mbox.htm

Honestly I think I am missing all the points about brackets in Latex, if somebody knows the Syntax (and the 'why' pls tell me).
