The word "rose" traces back to Latin rosa, likely borrowed from Greek rhodon, which may have origins in Old Persian wurdi (flower). The silent "e" in English reflects its transition from Middle English (rose) and Old French (rose). The flower’s name has remained remarkably consistent across Indo-European languages, symbolizing beauty and love.
