What does "karaoke" mean?

Singing accompanied by an instrumental soundtrack specifically made for "karaoke machines".

These soundtracks are usually songs in which the main melodic line has been removed (leaving ony the accompaniment intact.)

Karaoke is an agglutination of two Japanese words kara (empty) + oke (shortened version of okesutera/orchestra).

"Hey do you wanna go out for karaoke later?"

Karaoke

Singing without a live orchestra or band. Originally meaning "without orchestra," it is a combination of Japanese "kara" meaning "empty/bare-handed" as in "karate", and the "okee" sound from the first syllable of "orchestra" as pronounced by Japanese.

The guy who thought up karaoke created a bar owner's dream, because as patrons provide their own entertainment by singing along with a machine, management saves a fortune by not hiring talented musicians.
