Definition

A rating is a score or grade given to something or someone to show quality, value, or performance. It can also mean the official classification for age-appropriate content, like movies.

Usage & Nuances

Common in reviews (products, movies, services). Often seen as 'five-star rating' or 'high/low rating.' Can refer to age restrictions for media ('PG rating'). Not the same as 'ranking' (order among competitors), though related.
