Origin: From a proper name, combined with English elements; modelled on a Hebrew lexical item. Etymons: rose n.¹, of prep., proper name Sharon.

Etymology: < rose n.¹ + of prep. + Sharon (Hebrew Šārōn ), the name of a fertile level tract along the coast of present-day Israel between Joppa (now Jaffa) and Mount Carmel. Originally translating Hebrew ḥaḇaṣṣeleṯ haššārōn (Song of Solomon 2:1, where the maiden who is one of the two main characters of the text uses the term to refer to herself; compare similar figurative uses in sense 2) < ḥaḇaṣṣeleṯ, denoting a flower (see below) + ha- the + Šārōn.Hebrew ḥaḇaṣṣeleṯ occurs only in Song of Solomon 2:1 and Isaiah 35:1. Its reference is uncertain; it is unlikely to have denoted the rose, which was uncommon in Palestine. Most modern English translations of the Bible gloss it as either ‘crocus’ or ‘narcissus’ in footnotes, sometimes qualifying this with ‘probably’ or ‘possibly’. Rose was apparently first used in the Geneva Bible (1560) to render the Hebrew flower name, and passed from this translation into the King James Bible (1611). However, it is not clear why the Geneva Bible uses this particular translation, rather than the generic flower of earlier English versions (both versions of the Wycliffite Bible have flour of the feeld , Coverdale has floure of the feelde ), which follows the Septuagint and Vulgate (which have ἄνθος τοῦ πεδίου and flos campi respectively). Similarly, Luther's German Bible (1524 and later prints) has blume ‘flower’ (see bloom n.¹). The figurative use in theological contexts reflects traditional Christian allegorical exegesis of the Song of Solomon, in which the maiden or ‘bride’ is seen as representing either the Church (so from Origen onwards) or the soul of the individual believer (so e.g. in St Bernard of Clairvaux). In sense 3 probably with allusion to Song of Solomon 2:1 (compare quot. 1964).

a. A flower mentioned in the Bible (Song of Solomon 2:1), variously identified with a crocus, a wild narcissus, a cistus, and a poppy anemone (see note in etymology). Cf. sense 2. Now rare.
