leisure（英 [ˈleʒə(r)]，美 [ˈliːʒər]）是英语中的常用单词，兼具名词和形容词词性，作名词时指“闲暇时间”“休闲活动”，作形容词时意为“空闲的”或“业余的”，亦可作为姓氏使用 [1-2]。

该词用于描述与休闲相关的场景，如“leisure time”（自由支配时间）、“leisure industry”（娱乐服务业）、“leisure wear”（日常休闲服饰）等，涵盖时间管理、生活方式及社会活动维度 [3]。其短语搭配体现休闲与工作的对立关系，如“at leisure”（从容地）、“leisure class”（有闲阶层）等，反映出社会经济与文化特征 [1] [4]。

leisure的词源可追溯至古法语“leisir”（空闲、许可），原指“被允许的行为”，后逐渐演化为现代语境下的非工作状态。其概念随社会结构扩展，例如工业革命后“休闲产业”兴起，推动词义向经济与文化领域延伸 [1] [5]。
