Grotesque
The word grotesque comes from the same Latin root as "Grotto", meaning a small cave or hollow. The original meaning was restricted to an extravagant style of Ancient Roman decorative art rediscovered and then copied in Rome at the end of the 15th century. The "caves" were in fact rooms and corridors of the Domus Aurea, the unfinished palace complex started by Nero after the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64, which had become overgrown and buried, until they were broken into again, mostly from above. Spreading from Italian to the other European languages, the term was long used largely interchangeably with arabesque and moresque for types of decorative patterns using curving foliage elements.

Groteskornamentik
Groteskornamentik (it. grottesco, av grotta "grotta", "håla") är en typ av ornamentik som återupptäcktes under renässansen i Roms då ännu outgrävda ruiner, bl.a. Neros gyllene hus. Ruinerna benämndes grotte ("grottor"), eftersom man nödgades ta sig in i dem genom taket.
