The term CAROL START is composed of three words: ADESTE (6 letters), HARK (4 letters), and OCOME (5 letters). Adeste is a Latin phrase meaning 'come hither' or 'come to us'. HARK is an old English word meaning 'LISTEN' or 'HEAR'. Ocome is a variation of the Latin phrase 'Adeste Fideles', which translates to 'O come, all ye faithful'. Together, these three words form the phrase 'Adeste Fideles, HARK, O Come', which is the beginning of the traditional Christmas carol 'O Come, All Ye Faithful'.
