Definition
Plural of avocation; multiple hobbies or secondary interests pursued outside one's main job.
Etymology
Simple plural of 'avocation' by adding the standard '-s' ending to the Latin-derived noun.
Kelly Says
People with multiple avocations—say, painting and woodworking—are often more creative in their main career because hobbies cross-pollinate ideas between different skillsets.
