Introduction Book Beginning Countable Explains Place Bringing Act

The word "introduction" can refer to the beginning part of a book or talk, a book that explains the basics of a subject, someone or something new being brought into a place, the act of formally introducing people, or one's first experience with something. It can also refer to the initial part of a piece of music or a formal statement at the beginning of an official document. The phrase "needs no introduction" means someone is very well-known. A "letter of introduction" is a letter from a third party that vouches for someone.
