Etymology: Apparently a variant of resalgar n., perhaps influenced by rose n.1 on account of the red colour of the mineral's crystals. Compare Portuguese rosalgar (1679). N.E.D. (1909) gives stress on the second syllable of rosaker and rosalgar; some 19th cent. dictionaries also give this stress for the latter.
Now historical.
The mineral realgar (red arsenic).In several of the 17th-cent. quots. (in β. forms) and in recent historical use chiefly with reference to the alleged poisoning of Sir Thomas Overbury in 1613.
