Definition: A rite or ceremony.

Okay class, settle down, let’s take a look! That’s a tricky one, isn’t it? You’ve spotted the dictionary definition – “a rite or ceremony” – and it looks like it might be related. But hold on just a moment! The dictionary is giving you the literal meaning of that word. It's about formal events, like weddings or graduations. Now, when we talk about "celebrities," something completely different is going on. “Celebrities” means famous people . Think about it: actors and actresses in movies, singers with hit songs, athletes who win championships – they’re well-known to lots of people! They've become public figures through their talent or achievements. It's like this: a wedding is a ceremony, a special event. But a celebrity is someone who has an event around them - a constant spotlight and attention! Does that make more sense? Do you have any questions about what we mean when we say "celebrities"?
