noun词源
mid 16th cent. (as noun)： from French crotesque (the earliest form in English)， from Italian grottesca, from opera or pittura grottesca 'work or painting resembling that found in a grotto'; 'grotto' here probably denoted the rooms of ancient buildings in Rome which had been revealed by excavations， and which contained murals in the grotesque style.
