means A piece of music made to be sung, with words set to a tune.
from From Old English 'sang,' the noun built straight from the verb 'singan' — to sing. It belongs to a deep Germanic family (a cousin of German 'Sang' and the old Norse 'sǫngr'), all springing from the same root that gave us 'sing.' So the word is simply 'the thing that is sung,' a name as old as the act itself.
