Chorea in a sentence as a noun

The word ‘chorea’ is derived from the greek word for ‘dance’ as it happens.

Huntington's disease looks nothing like dancing yet it's called chorea, which is Greek for dance. I believe that the term was historically used rather loosely for a variety of involuntary movement/neurological symptoms we might today call dyskinesia, tremors, tics, or even seizures.
