root
Explanation:
In music, the root (basse fondamentale) of a chord is the note or pitch upon which such a chord is built or hierarchically centered. This centricity is present in Western music, and its verbal labeling is a basic skill for the musically trained.

Συγχορδία ονομάζεται στη θεωρία της μουσικής το σύνολο τριών τουλάχιστον φθόγγων που ηχούν ταυτόχρονα. Στο τονικό μουσικό σύστημα η συγχορδία σχηματίζεται με επάλληλους φθόγγους που απέχουν μεταξύ τους διάστημα τρίτης, δηλ. με την προσθήκη της τρίτης, της πέμπτης, της έβδομης κ.ο.κ πάνω από ένα βασικό φθόγγο. Ο φθόγγος αυτός ονομάζεται θεμέλιος και αποτελεί τη βάση και το χαρακτηριστικότερο φθόγγο της συγχορδίας.
