Common mistake:
Learners often confuse "meetup" with the verb phrase "meet up". "Meetup" (one word) is a noun for the event itself, while "meet up" (two words) is a verb phrase meaning to meet someone. Learners may also write "meet-up" with a hyphen; this is sometimes seen, but "meetup" (one word) is now more common in modern usage.
Meaning
informal gathering of people
