from Greek χώρα khôra "space, domain, location"
See Plato's "Timaeus"
Latinized form chora, chorae "site for a monument"
"In Plato's account, khôra (also chora; Ancient Greek: χώρα) is described as a formless interval, alike to a non-being, in between which the "Forms" were received from the intelligible realm (where they were originally held) and were "copied", shaping into the transitory forms of the sensible realm; it "gives space" and has maternal overtones (a womb, matrix)."
