Etymology

The word "rosy" derives from the noun "rose," referring to the flower known for its pink or red hues, combined with the suffix "-y," which forms adjectives meaning "characterized by" or "resembling." The term originally described the color of roses but later expanded metaphorically to describe optimism (as in "rosy outlook") due to the flower's association with beauty and positivity.
