romp
Boisterous energetic play
Romp suggests lively, energetic play—children romping in the yard, puppies romping together.
The word carries a sense of carefree abandon.
A romp can also be an easy victory: The game turned into a romp.
In informal use, romp describes lighthearted sexual activity: a romp in the hay.
As a noun, it names the activity itself or something that feels playfully unserious: The film is a delightful romp.
