Song is the English equivalent of the Latin root 'cant-'. Latin derivatives include the verb 'cantare', which means 'to sing'. They also include the nouns 'cantio' and 'cantor', for 'song' and 'singer' respectively. English derivatives include 'canticle', which means 'a short hymn or chant'; and 'cantor', which means 'singer'.
