matinee

[mæt￨ əˈneɪ]

A matinee is a term used to describe a daytime performance or screening of a play, movie, or other performance art, usually held in the early afternoon. The word “matinee” is derived from the French word “matin,” which means “morning.” The concept of matinees became popular as a way to provide additional showtimes for theatergoers who were unable to attend evening performances or preferred a daytime show. Today, matinee performances are common in cinemas, theaters, and other performance venues, and often come with reduced ticket prices compared to evening shows.

rosette

[ɹoʊˈzɛt]

“Rosette” can refer to a few different things depending on the context:

A rosette is a decorative design or pattern that resembles a rose or a circular arrangement of petals. Rosettes are often used as embellishments on clothing, furniture, or architecture.
In cooking, a rosette is a pastry that is fried or baked into a spiral shape and often dusted with powdered sugar. Rosettes are popular in Scandinavian and French cuisine and are made using a specialized tool called a rosette iron.
A rosette can also refer to an award or honor that is shaped like a rosette. These are often given at fairs, competitions, or other events to recognize excellence in a particular field or competition.
