au·di·tion ȯ-ˈdi-shən 
auditioned; auditioning ȯ-ˈdi-sh(ə-)niŋ
: to test or try out especially in an audition
: to give a trial performance
Did you know?
Today, "audition" most often refers to a theatrical tryout, but that wasn't always the case. "Audition" is rooted in the Latin verb audire, meaning "to hear," and was first used in the late 16th century to refer to the power or sense of hearing. "Audire" is also the root of such "hearing" words in English as "audible," "audience" (which first meant "the act or state of hearing"), and the prefix audio-, which appears in various words relating to sound. It wasn't until late 19th century that the noun "audition" began being used for an entertainer's trial performance. And the verb audition, meaning "to test or try out in an audition," didn't appear on the English language stage until the mid-20th century.
Example Sentences
Verb When he came in to audition, he was very charming. They auditioned several girls for the role. We will audition dancers today.
