birthday
Cake and candles
A birthday is the annual anniversary of one's birth: What do you want for your birthday?
Children's birthdays typically involve parties, cake, and gifts.
The word extends to anniversaries of other beginnings: a nation's birthday, a company's birthday.
Birthday suit means nakedness—the condition you were born in.
