Etymology 1

Might be derived from Ancient Greek ῥόδον (rhódon), but some of the details remain mysterious. One possible way: from Oscan, from Ancient Greek ῥόδον (rhódon) (Aeolic ϝρόδον (wródon)), from Old Persian *wṛda- (“flower”) (compare Avestan 𐬬𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬜𐬀 (varǝδa-), Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr, late Middle Persian gwl (gul), Persian گل (gul), and Middle Iranian borrowings including Old Armenian վարդ (vard), Aramaic וַרְדָּא (wardā) / ܘܪܕܐ (wardā), Arabic وَرْدَة (warda), Hebrew וֶרֶד (wéreḏ)), from Proto-Indo-European *wr̥dʰos (“sweetbriar”) (compare Old English word (“thornbush”), Latin rubus (“bramble”), Albanian hurdhe (“ivy”)). Possibly ultimately a derivation from a verb for "to grow" only attested in Indo-Iranian (*Hwardh-, compare Sanskrit vardh-, with relatives in Avestan).

Pronunciation

Noun

rosa f (genitive rosae); first declension

  1. a rose
    • c. 37 BCE – 30 BCE, Virgil, Georgics 4.267:
      Proderit et tunsum gallae admiscere saporem / arentesque rosas […]
      It's good too to blend a taste of pounded oak-apples / and dry rose leaves […]
    • 61 CE – c. 112 CE, Pliny the Younger, Epistulae 5:
      Inde etiam rosas effert, umbrarumque frigus non ingrato sole distinguit. Finito vario illo multiplicique curvamine recto limiti redditur nec huic uni, nam viae plures intercedentibus buxis dividuntur.[1][2]
      Farther on, there are roses too along the path, and the cool shade is pleasantly alternated with sunshine. Having passed through these manifold winding alleys, the path resumes a straight course, and at the same time divides into several tracks, separated by box hedges.[3][4]
      Even roses grow there, and the warmth of the sun is delightful as a change from the cool of the shade. When you come to the end of these various winding alleys, the boundary again runs straight, or should I say boundaries, for there are a number of paths with box shrubs between them.[5]
  2. (transferred sense, endearment) dear, rose, sweetheart, love; a word of endearment
    Mea rosa. ― My love.
    Rosa! ― Honey!
    Tu mihi rosa es. ― You are my sweetheart.
