sardoodledom

Named after French dramatist Victorien Sardou + doodle + -dom, coined by Irish playwright, critic, and polemicist George Bernard Shaw who first used it on the 1 June, 1895 in the Saturday Review when criticising Sardou's well-made plays.

coin

Naturally this critic loses no chance to express his contempt for what he calls “Sardoodledom:” the cult of the “wellmade” play. He gives M. Sardou no bail, and barely allows Mr. Pinero to go at large on good behavior.

[1907 April, H. W. Boynton, “Mr. Shaw as Critic”, in The Atlantic:

What is new is that we have in movies an art form so exclusively given over to Sardoodledom that a Yale professor thinks that Sardoodledom is ingrained in the celluloid.

2010 [1946], Eric Bentley, The Playwright as a Thinker: A Study of Drama in Modern Times, 4th edition, University of Minnesota Press, →ISBN, page 34:

(uncommon) Well-made works of drama that have trivial, insignificant, or melodramatic plots.

Greek: χορός m (chorós)

→ Latin: chorus m (see there for further descendants)

→ Georgian: ხორუმი (xorumi)

→ Russian: хор m (xor)

→ Hebrew: הוֹרָה f

→ Esperanto: ĥoro

→ Serbo-Croatian: о́ро n, óro

→ Bulgarian: хоро (horo)

→ Romanian: horă f

Likely from a Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰoros, from a root *ǵʰer-, though the semantic identity of this root has been disputed:
* From *ǵʰer- (“to seize, catch, enclose”), with some original meaning of "encircling/ring (dance)", whence χόρτος (khórtos, “enclosure”) and Latin cohors, with comparable meanings (multitude, troop).
* From *ǵʰer- (“to yearn for”), whence also χαίρω (khaírō, “to rejoice”).
* From a *ǵʰer- of uncertain interpretation, though related to Lithuanian žãras (“row, twig”); this could be identical to the "seize" meaning above.
