encore
This term carries a strong connotation of mutual appreciation between a performer and an audience. It is not merely a repetition of a song, but a symbolic gesture of success and demand, typically occurring at the very end of a concert or theatrical show. In professional settings, the encore is often pre-planned despite appearing spontaneous.
As a noun, it refers to both the act of requesting more and the actual performance that follows. When used as a verb, it describes the action of the performer fulfilling that request. While common in music and comedy, it is rarely used in non-performance contexts unless used metaphorically to describe a desired return of a person or event.
Meanings
An additional performance by an entertainer, requested by the audience through applause or shouting.
A demand for a repetition or addition to a performance.
