Rosetta
Hieroglyphic decoder's key
Rosetta refers to the Rosetta Stone, an ancient Egyptian artifact bearing the same text in three scripts—hieroglyphics, demotic, and Greek—that enabled scholars to finally decode hieroglyphics in the early 1800s.
The name now designates anything that provides a key to understanding something previously mysterious: This gene sequence may be the Rosetta Stone for understanding the disease.
Apple's Rosetta software translates code between processor architectures.
