Nightclub → It is formed from "night" (from Old English "niht", meaning the period of darkness) and "club" (from Old French "clube", meaning a gathering place or association). A nightclub is a place where people gather during the night for entertainment and socializing.
Memory Tip
Think of the 'darkness' of 'night' where people come together in a 'club' for fun and entertainment.
