The word オーケストラオーケストラ comes from English "orchestra," which itself comes from the Greek word "orkhēstra" (ὀρχήστρα). The original Greek word referred to the space in front of the stage in a theater where the chorus would perform. The term evolved to describe the group of musicians and eventually the instruments themselves.
