覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Romanesque は Roman「ローマの」＋ -esque「〜風の」と捉え、「ローマ風の中世様式」を核にします。厚い壁、丸いアーチ、重厚な教会を一つの दृश्यとして覚え、Romanesque art・arches・doorway と結びつけましょう。romantic「恋愛的な」とは意味が異なります。
Connect Romanesque with Roman plus the suffix -esque, meaning “in the style of.” The name reflects the style’s perceived resemblance to ancient Roman building traditions, especially its rounded arches. Picture a heavy medieval stone church with thick walls, strong pillars, small windows, and semicircular doorways. Then attach the word to common combinations: Romanesque architecture, Romanesque art, Romanesque arches, and a Romanesque doorway. Do not confuse it with romantic, which usually concerns love, emotion, or an idealized view rather than this historical artistic style.

romanesque の語源・成り立ち Etymology
フランス語 romanesque に由来し、roman（ローマの）＋ -esque（〜風の）から成ります。直訳すると「ローマ風」で、古代ローマ建築に似た様式という意味に納得できます。関連語は Roman, romance です。
Romanesque entered English from French romanesque, a word based on roman and the suffix -esque, “in the style of.” The architectural label was adopted for a medieval European style understood as resembling aspects of Roman construction, particularly the rounded arch. Although the style developed long after ancient Rome and has its own regional forms, the name preserves that perceived connection. Roman and romance are historically related formations but have distinct modern meanings.
