Explanation
An episode is a part of a story, show, or event. For example, a TV series has many episodes, each telling a small part of the bigger story. In life, an episode can mean a short experience, like a funny episode at school. Doctors may use the word for a short time when someone feels unwell, like an “episode of illness”. Episodes help break big things into smaller parts that are easier to understand, remember, or enjoy. The word is often used in entertainment, daily life, and even health.
