Wiktionary英語版での「chorus」の意味 |
chorus
語源
The noun is borrowed from Medieval Latin chorus (“church choir”), Latin chorus (“group of dancers かつ singers; dance”), from Ancient Greek χορός (khorós, “group of dancers かつ singers, choir, chorus; dance accompanied by song; round dance”);[1] further etymology uncertain, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰer- (“to encircle, enclose”) or *ǵʰoros. Doublet of choir and hora.
The plural form chori is from Latin chorī, from Ancient Greek χοροί (khoroí).
The verb is derived from the noun.[2]
