the fruit a rose leaves behind after the petals steal all the credit
means The round, reddish fruit of a rose plant, left on the stem after the bloom fades and often used for tea, syrup, or vitamin C.
from A plain English compound: "rose" (from Latin rosa, itself likely borrowed from a Greek or older Mediterranean source) joined to "hip," the old word for this particular fruit. "Hip" descends from Old English "hēope," with Germanic cousins, and has meant the rose's berry-like seed-pod for well over a thousand years — no relation to the hip you sit on, which comes from a separate Old English word entirely.
