What is the meaning of "amateur"?
Translated from its French origin to the English "lover of", the term "amateur" reflects a voluntary motivation to work as a result of personal passion for a particular activity. As with any construct, amateurism can be seen in both a negative and positive light. Since amateurs often do not have extensive training, amateur work can sometimes be seen as sub-par. However, the lack of financial recompense can also be seen as a sign of commitment to an activity. Pursuing amateur activities to the same standards as professionals is sometimes referred to as professional amateurism; I have no doubt that you will find that the members of the Emerald Chamber Players are without doubt professional amateurs!
