核心畫面
Take a rose, press it flat, and shrink it. What is left is a small circle with opening out from one middle point. Every use of the word comes back to that one flat little flower: into a door, folded out of ribbon, grown by a plant against the ground, or printed in an animal's fur. The material changes; the shape does not.

把一朵玫瑰壓平、再縮小，剩下的就是一個小圓形，花瓣從中心一圈一圈往外散開。rosette 的每個用法都回到這朵平放的小玫瑰：刻在門上的、用彩帶摺出來的、植物貼著地面長出來的、豹身上長出來的。材料一直換，形狀沒有變。From the word’s history
Borrowed from Middle French and modern French rosette; by surface analysis, rose + -ette (a diminutive ending), so literally "little rose".
這個字是從法文 rosette 借來的，拆開來看就是 rose（玫瑰）加 -ette（小的），字面上是「小玫瑰」。所以「一朵縮小攤平的玫瑰」不是比喻，是這個字本來就寫著的東西。

自己長出來的小玫瑰
同樣一朵攤平的小花，但這一支沒有人動手——是植物和動物自己長成這個形狀。
