Chore, a corruption of char, is an English word, still used in many parts of England, as a char-man, a char-woman; but in America, it is perhaps confined to New England. It signifies small domestic jobs of work, and its place cannot be supplied by any other single word in the language. [Noah Webster, "Dissertations on the English Language," 1789]
Chore 是英语单词的一个变体,仍在英格兰的许多地方使用,如 char-man, char-woman; 但在美国,它可能仅限于 New England。它表示小型家务工作,没有其他单词可以替代它。[诺亚·韦伯斯特,《英语语言论文》,1789年]

choriambic(adj.)
in prosody, "pertaining to or consisting of choriambs," 1650s, from Latin choriambicus, from Greek khōriambikos, from khōriambos. This is compounded from iambos (see iambic) + khoreios, the name of the foot we tend to call a trochee, literally "pertaining to a dance or theatrical chorus," from khoros (see chorus).
In classical prosody a four-syllable foot, the first and last long the middle two short. Common in English poetry 16c.-19c. (“Lilies without, roses within”), but in English it is less a foot than a two-foot pattern of an inverted iamb (a trochee, or choreus) followed by an iamb, typically at the start of an iambic decasyllable line or after a caesura. As a noun, "a foot constituting a choriamb," by 1866.
