Why this word is great
ORCHESIS — [Noun] The art or practice of dancing, especially as a formal discipline. From Ancient Greek ὄρχησις (órkhēsis, "dancing, dance"), carrying the primal impulse of patterned human movement. Unlike "choreography" (which maps the specific architecture of a sequence) or "terpsichorean" (an ornamental adjective for the dancer), orchesis is the raw, abstract principle of motion made mindful—dance as a domain of knowing. It is the sweat-darkened floor of the rehearsal studio, the collective shudder of a field of wheat in the wind, and the solitary, late-night pivot in a kitchen where a private grief is worked into motion. The body writes ephemeral sentences against its own inevitable gravity.
