The word "carol" originates from the Old French term "carole," which referred to a type of dance accompanied by singing. It is derived from the Latin "carnālis," meaning "of the flesh," and "carmen," meaning "song." Historically, carols were joyous songs sung during celebrations, particularly around Christmas. Over time, the term has come to specifically denote festive songs associated with the holiday season.
