- something very easily done.
noun
- informal something that is easy to do
Something easily done, a trivial matter. For example, Finding the answer was child’s play for Robert, or The fight we had was child’s play compared to the one I had with my mother! Originating in the early 1300s as child’s game, the idiom was already used in its present form by Chaucer in The Merchant’s Tale: “It is no child’s play to take a wife.”
