Root Explanation

**Rosolio** → The word 'rosolio' originates from Italian, derived from 'rosolium', which is a combination of 'ros' (meaning dew) and 'oleum' (meaning oil). It refers to a sweet liqueur made from herbs and flowers, often flavored with rose petals. The term literally means 'dew of the rose' or 'rose oil'.

Memory Tip

Imagine the 'dew' ('ros') from 'roses' ('oleum') creating a sweet, fragrant liqueur. This helps you remember that 'rosolio' is a delightful drink made from rose essence.
