Orchestra (English spelling)

Japanese: オルケストラ(英語表記)orchēstra
Orchestra (English spelling)
An architectural term. In the structure of ancient Greek theaters, a circular earthen floor in front of the stage for dancing and singing was used. By the Roman period, most theaters were semicircular. The word "orchestra," which is used today to mean "musical instrument," comes from this.
