session
word
Definition
A session is a period of time set aside for a particular activity, such as a class, meeting, therapy appointment, or online login period. It is often used for organized activities that have a clear start and end.
Usage & Nuances
Common collocations include 'training session', 'study session', 'therapy session', and 'session expires'. It is more natural than 'class' when talking about one scheduled period in a larger course, and in tech it often refers to the time a user stays logged in.
