The answer
HOBBY
What hobby means
An activity or interest that a person pursues regularly in their leisure time for pleasure or relaxation rather than as a profession or job.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *hobi* or *hobyn*, possibly derived from the proper name *Hobbe*, a medieval nickname for Robert. A hobby horse was a child's toy or a wooden frame on wheels shaped like a horse, ridden for amusement. Over time, "hobby" came to mean any pursuit or pastime engaged in for pleasure rather than profit, and the connection to the original toy name faded into the background.
