'Karaoke' is used to mean what it means in English -- that is, it refers to singing over pre-recorded music. However, it comes from the Japanese words 'kara' meaning "empty" and 'oke' which is an abbreviation of "orchestra." (Ookesutora in Japanese).

Where does karaoke co me from?
from the home page of www.goodtimekaraoke.com The Japanese word stems from the words kara (空), meaning "empty" (as in karate, "empty hand") and oke which is short for ōkesutora, meaning "orchestra". The words together make a contraction literally meaning "empty orchestra". This term used to be slang for media where pre-recorded music substitutes for a live performance, thus it is written in katakana. The term karaoke can be interpreted as "virtual orchestra" because one can specify a key to the music and start singing along without the presence of a live band or orchestra. In the United States, the word is often pronounced as /kerioki/, and in Britain /kaerieoki/. The Japanese pronunciation is /karaoke/. (These pronunciations are in IPA.) It is a popular urban legend that Karaoke is Japanese for "tone-deaf". This is not true, though it is amusing.
