Word origin
The word 'chorus' originated from the Latin word 'chorus', which in turn came from the Greek word 'khoros' meaning 'dance, choir'. In ancient Greek drama, the chorus was a group of actors who sang and danced, providing commentary on the actions of the characters. Over time, the meaning of 'chorus' expanded to include the musical and literary contexts we are familiar with today.
