In literature, “avocation” is often used to denote a pursuit secondary to one’s primary duty or profession. Authors employ the term to illustrate characters’ engagements outside their main calling, whether for pleasure, diversion, or even as a matter of survival. At times, avocation contrasts sharply with vocation—for instance, when an individual sets aside his regular role for military service [1] or when a fisherman is compelled to give up his customary trade [2]. In other contexts, the word underscores a subtle separation between one’s everyday occupation and personal interests, highlighting that an avocation can shift from a leisurely pursuit to an all-consuming passion [3] and be distinctly differentiated from a life’s calling [4, 5].
