The word rosary has a Latin origin. It means rose garden. It is taken from the word rosarius which means of roses. Later, it was modified by Middle Latin as Rosarium which again meant rose garden. The Middle English took it as rose garden. Rosary is a noun and is a kind of devotion to Virgin Mary. This form of prayer consists of decades (series of ten prayers) of Hail Mary. There are fifteen decades in each prayer and five decades in each set. Lord's Prayer is chanted before every decade. The decade ends with a doxology (prayer in God's praise).
Each set of five decades is also termed rosary. People count these prayers on a string of beads. This string is also called a rosary. Various other religious groups also use such a string for their religious purposes. This is also termed a rosary.
