Usage Examples

Etymology

French *hobby* is a loanword from English *hobby*, originally a diminutive of “Hob” (short for Robert) that meant a small horse or a pet animal. By the mid‑19th century the English sense had shifted to “a leisure pursuit or pastime,” a meaning that French adopted unchanged. Thus the French noun is a 19th‑century borrowing that preserves the English figurative sense of “hobby” as an enjoyable activity.
