production

Making of goods

Production is the verbal noun from produce and denotes an instance, the activity, or the result of producing something (gas production, food production).

Production is frequent in talk about economics, where it refers to the output of an economy.

In the entertainment industry, production is sometimes a count noun and refers to a specific version or presentation of a play, opera, musical, or the like.

If you make a production out of something, you give it more importance or complexity than it deserves.
