χορωδίαchoirEtymology
Χορεύω is built from the noun χορός, which meant a group dance or the circle of dancers and singers at a festival, and later gave English words like chorus and choir. The verb-forming suffix -εύω turns the noun into an action, so χορεύω literally means to do what a χορός does. The deeper origin of χορός itself is disputed among linguists, so no single ancestral root is given here.
