Morphology
The compound is directly built from the known medical nouns 'acne' and 'rosacea', so a learner who knows both terms can infer it refers to a rosacea-type skin condition that includes acne-like pimples, redness, and flushing. This follows standard transparent medical naming patterns (combining disease labels), making the overall meaning derivable from the constituents.
Etymology
Acne rosacea comes from two parts: acne, the word people use for 'pimples', and rosacea, a word that refers to 'rose' because the skin looks rosy and red. So it describes a long-lasting face skin problem that produces 'redness' and sometimes 'pimples'.
