CAROL

What carol means

A song of joy or praise, especially a Christmas song, or to sing carols in a cheerful voice.

Where the word comes from

From Old French *carole*, a circle dance with singing popular in medieval times, possibly from Latin *choraula*, a flute player who accompanied dancers, which derives from Greek *choreia*, a choral dance, and *aulos*, a reed pipe. The word shifted meaning in English to refer primarily to the song itself, especially religious songs sung at Christmas.
