The German word "Hobby" (like in English) is a noun that refers to a leisure activity that someone does for pleasure during their free time. The word "Hobby" does not break down into smaller German words and is borrowed from English. Similar words include "Freizeitbeschäftigung" (leisure activity), "Steckenpferd" (literally "stick horse," also used metaphorically to mean "hobby"), and "Liebhaberei" (fondness for something, or something pursued with great interest).
