In ancient Greek theater, a chorus that was properly ordered or well-arranged; a group of performers in harmonious formation.
From Greek eu- 'well' plus choros 'dance' or 'chorus,' plus -i as a plural ending. This term appears in classical Greek dramatic criticism and theater history.
Ancient Greek theater critics had incredibly specific vocabulary—they could describe a 'well-arranged chorus' with one word, while modern English needs five; it shows how obsessed they were with perfect dramatic form and choreography.
