  3. ROCOCO • The word Rococo probably derives from the French word rocaille (pronounced “ro-kye”), a type of ornament employing rock, pebbles, and shells in garden decoration. • It was a “made-up” word, invented toward the end of the 18th century. Meant to sound rather silly, it was originally used as an insulting term for the art of the ancien régime—the recently overthrown French monarchy.
