Activity is a situation where things are happening or people are doing things. It can also mean a specific task or exercise designed for a purpose.
From Old French 'activité' and Latin 'activitas', from 'activus' (active), based on 'agere' (to do). It originally meant 'the quality of being active'.
Activity is the visible footprint of energy—what you can see when something or someone isn’t idle. In classrooms, teachers plan 'activities' because learning happens best when your brain is busy doing, not just sitting.
