Definition of rec room

rec roomnoun

phòng giải trí

/ˈrek ruːm//ˈrek ruːm/

The term "rec room" originated during the mid-20th century as a variation of the term "recreation room." In the past, homes often included a designated space for recreational activities, such as playing ping-pong, billiards, or board games. Since these activities were meant for entertainment and relaxation, the area was given the name "recreation room." As sports became increasingly popular, some families began using their rec rooms for home gym and workout sessions. The multi-purpose versatility of the space led to the contraction of the term "rec room" to describe such a space. Today, the term is commonly used to refer to a room in a house that's designed for leisure activities, gaming, watching movies, or socializing with family and friends, making it a hub of entertainment and relaxation for the entire household.
