vacationleisure time away from work devoted to rest or pleasure

A vacation a time specifically set aside for enjoyment or relaxation, like a dream vacation to Hawaii.

Vacation began as an Old French word, meaning "freedom or release" from an activity or occupation — like summer vacation. There's no school. During summer vacation, you'll do lots of things — but you won't be in school. You might even go somewhere for a vacation. Another meaning of vacation is "voiding something legal," like the vacation of the old law about not tying your horse in front of City Hall.

All forms of 'vacation' will appear on average once every 479 pages.
