Amateur

/ˈæm·ə·tər/noun / adjective
ELI5 mode

An amateur is someone who engages in an activity, such as a hobby or sport, out of passion rather than for professional gain or payment, often lacking formal training but driven by enthusiasm. In today's context, the term can carry a slightly negative connotation of inexperience or clumsiness, yet it also celebrates the joy of participation without the pressures of expertise.
