- 1洛可可
Rococo buildings and furniture have a lot of curly decoration and were fashionable in Europe in the 1700s, especially in France. Think pale colours, curves, gold swirls, nothing left plain. A rococo chair looks as if someone drew curls all over it. People also stretch the word for anything extremely fancy and curly — “a bit rococo” can mean “too much decoration,” not always kindly. It is an art-history word when you are being careful, and a slightly show-off adjective when you are not. Though actually, it is not the same as baroque: baroque is the heavier, darker style just before; rococo is lighter and fussier.
組成Borrowed whole from French rococo. English did not build it from smaller English pieces.
