What does Masque really mean?

Alright, so "masque" is a word that comes from French, but we use it in English too. It's a kind of party where people wear costumes and masks, like on Halloween or at a Mardi Gras celebration. It's a super fun event where you get to pretend to be someone else for a little while, kind of like how actors get to be someone different when they're on stage.

But "masque" can also mean something else. It's an old-fashioned word for a type of play that was popular hundreds of years ago. These plays were often performed at parties and they were really cool because they had music, dancing, and acting all mixed together.

So "masque" is kind of like a fancy dress party with a lot of exciting things happening at the same time. It's all about having fun and pretending to be someone different for a little while. Cool, right?
