Explanation
An association is a group of people who come together for a common purpose like sports, business, education, or social causes. People in an association usually share similar interests or work together towards the same goal. For example, a teacher’s association may focus on improving education. The word also has another use — when your mind connects two things together (like rain and sleep). That mental link is also called an association. So, association can be both a real group and a mental connection between ideas or feelings.
