The German word Sitzung primarily refers to a formal meeting or a session.

Formal Meeting: A gathering of a group of people (such as a committee, board, or parliament) to deliberate, discuss, or make decisions.
Clinical Session: In a therapeutic or professional context, it refers to an individual appointment with a therapist, coach, or consultant (e.g., Therapiesitzung).
Legal/Procedural Session: A formal sitting of a court or a legislative body.

Grammar: It is a feminine noun (die Sitzung), and the plural form is die Sitzungen.
Word origin: It is derived from the verb sitzen (to sit). The suffix -ung is used in German to turn verbs into nouns that describe an action or the result of an action. It literally translates to a "sitting" or "the act of sitting together."
