James Miller<ref>James L. Miller, [https://archive.org/details/measuresofwisdom0000mill ''Measures of Wisdom: The Cosmic Dance in Classical and Christian Antiquity''] (Toronto: 1986), [https://archive.org/details/measuresofwisdom0000mill/page/17/mode/1up p. 17].</ref> (1986: [https://archive.org/details/measuresofwisdom0000mill/page/17/mode/1up p. 17]) explained his disappointment at discovering that “''Choreia'',” via Latin “[[wikipedia:Chorea|''chorea'']],” survives in modern English (according to the ''Oxford English Dictionary'') “as a medical term signifying ‘a convulsive disorder… characterized by irregular involuntary contractions of the muscles, especially of the face and arms,’” much as “''arthrum''”—the root of “joint,” “harmony,” and “art”—survives as “''arthritis''.” “The tragic fate of my noble Greek word forced me to question my naïve assumption that the mighty themes of order and harmony could be conveyed through the centuries on a verbal vehicle so frail and easily overturned.”
