From the word’s history
From Old French celebration, from Latin celebratio; celebrate + -ion.
源自古法文 celebration，來自拉丁文 celebratio。
Picture people deciding that something good must not just pass quietly — so they do something visible about it: they cook, they gather, they raise a glass, they make noise. The word covers both that act of marking the moment and the gathering it turns into.
