Definition: An arranged informal meeting.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
That dictionary definition – “an arranged informal meeting” – gives you the basic gist, it’s true. But what does ‘meetup’
really
mean?
Think of it this way:
Meetup
is more than just a planned get-together, see? It's about people joining forces with glee!
It’s when folks who share a common interest – maybe knitting, or hiking, or even discussing ancient history— decide to gather and connect. They plan it together, usually online, a digital request, you might say.
So, "arranged informal meeting" is a good start, but
meetup
captures the spirit of connection and shared enthusiasm - a happy little gathering!
Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about this word, my dear students?
