The act of beginning an organized action, plan, or process.

ceremony for joining a group
A special ceremony that makes someone a member of a group or marks a new stage in life.
Mẫu sử dụng:
[someone]'s initiation into [a group]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes confuse 'initiation' with 'orientation'. An 'orientation' usually gives information to new members, while an 'initiation' is a ceremony or ritual to officially make them part of the group.
Từ đồng nghĩa
induction (Commonly used for formally bringing someone into a job or official position; less tied to tradition or ritual pain/hardship.)
|
rite of passage (Broader term for any event marking a major life change, not only membership in a group.)
Từ trái nghĩa
expulsion (Being formally forced out of a group is the opposite of being formally brought in.)
|
excommunication (In religious contexts, it is the formal removal from a religious community, opposing religious initiation.)

first serious introduction to something
Someone’s first strong experience that teaches them about a new activity, subject, or way of life.
Mẫu sử dụng:
[someone]'s initiation into [field/activity]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners may overuse 'initiation' where simple 'introduction' is more natural. 'Initiation' is usually used when the first experience is deep, intense, or life-changing, not for very small or casual experiences.
Từ đồng nghĩa
introduction (More common and general; 'initiation' often implies deeper or more intense first involvement.)
|
exposure (Focuses on being subjected to a new thing, while 'initiation' suggests guided learning or entry.)
Từ trái nghĩa
withdrawal (Leaving or pulling back from an activity contrasts with being first introduced to it.)

start of a scientific process
In science, the first step that makes a reaction or process start.
Mẫu sử dụng:
the initiation of [a reaction/process]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes use everyday words like 'start' in very formal technical writing where 'initiation' or 'onset' would be more appropriate. In scientific texts, 'initiation' often refers to a specific, defined stage with a technical meaning.
Từ đồng nghĩa
onset (Often used in medicine for when a disease or condition begins.)
|
triggering (Emphasizes the cause that sets off the process rather than the formal first stage.)
Từ trái nghĩa
inhibition (In scientific contexts, refers to the prevention or slowing of a process, opposing its initiation.)
|
termination (Refers to the end of a process, contrasting with its start.)
