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”)). Possibly ultimately a derivation from a verb for "to grow" only attested in Indo-Iranian (*Hwardh-, compare Sanskrit vardh-, with relatives in Avestan).
