How it's used

Beyond the literal theatrical sense, this term is frequently used in sports to describe an athlete entering the field or starting their match. It carries a sense of anticipation, often implying that the person or team is finally making their presence known after a period of waiting. It is also used metaphorically in daily life to describe someone finally showing up to address a situation or join a social event.

Common mistake
