agenda
word
Definition
An agenda is a list of things to discuss or do, especially in a meeting. It can also mean a person's plan, goals, or hidden intentions in a situation.
Usage & Nuances
In everyday use, 'agenda' is very common for meetings: 'on the agenda', 'set the agenda', 'stick to the agenda'. It can also sound negative in 'a hidden agenda', meaning secret motives. Don't confuse it with a personal notebook in all contexts; in some varieties of English, that meaning is less common than the meeting meaning.
