Definition rose

Etymology 1

From Middle English rose, roose, from Old English r?se, from Latin rosa, from Oscan, from Ancient Greek ????? (rhódon) (Aeolic ?????? (wródon)), from Old Persian *w?da- (“flower”) (compare Avestan ??????‎ (var??a-), Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr, late Middle Persian gwl (gul), Persian ??‎ (gul), and Middle Iranian borrowings including Old Armenian ???? (vard), Aramaic ????????‎ (ward?) / ????‎ (ward?), Arabic ???????‎ (warda), Hebrew ?????‎ (wére?)), from Proto-Indo-European *wr?d?os (“sweetbriar”) (compare Old English word (“thornbush”), Latin rubus (“bramble”), Albanian hurdhe (“ivy”)).
