different between angel vs rosa

English

Pronunciation

• enPR: ?n?j?l, IPA^(key): /?e?n.d??l/

Etymology 1

From Middle English angel, aungel, ængel, engel, from Anglo-Norman angele, angle and Old English æn?el, en?el, en??el (“angel, messenger”), from Proto-West Germanic *angil, borrowed from Latin angelus, itself from Ancient Greek ??????? (ángelos, “messenger”). The religious sense of the Greek word first appeared in the Septuagint as a translation of the Hebrew word ????????? (mal???, “messenger”) or ???? ???????? (mal??? YHWH, “messenger of YHWH”).

Use of the term in some churches to refer to a church official derives from interpreting the "angels" of the Seven churches of Asia in Revelation as being bishops or ministers rather than angelic beings.

Etymology 1

Might be derived from Ancient Greek ????? (rhódon), but some of the details remain mysterious. One possible way: from Oscan, from Ancient Greek ????? (rhódon) (Aeolic ?????? (wródon)), from Old Persian *w?da- (“flower”) (compare Avestan ????????????????????????-? (var^??a-), Sogdian ward, Parthian wâr, late Middle Persian gwl (gul), Persian ??? (gul), and Middle Iranian borrowings including Old Armenian ???? (vard), Aramaic ????????? (ward?) / ????? (ward?), Arabic ???????? (warda), Hebrew ?????? (wére?)), from Proto-Indo-European *wr?d?os (“sweetbriar”) (compare Old English word (“thornbush”), Latin rubus (“bramble”), Albanian hurdhe (“ivy”)). Possibly ultimately a derivation from a verb for "to grow" only attested in Indo-Iranian (*Hwardh-, compare Sanskrit vardh-, with relatives in Avestan).
