Etymology

The word "choral" traces back to the Greek choros (meaning "dance" or "group of singers/dancers"), which evolved into Latin choralis (pertaining to a chorus). The suffix -al (from Latin -alis) denotes "relating to." Over time, "choral" narrowed in meaning to specifically describe music performed by a choir, reflecting its roots in collective singing traditions.
