Leisure

Vine's Expository Dictionary of NT Words [1]

1: Εὐκαιρέω (Strong'S #2119 — Verb — eukaireo — yoo-kahee-reh'-o )

"to have leisure or opportunity" (eu, "well," kairos, "a time or season"), is translated "they had ... leisure" in  Mark 6:31; in  Acts 17:21 , "spent their time" (RV, marg., "had leisure for"); in  1—Corinthians 16:12 , "he shall have opportunity," RV (AV, "... convenient time"). See Convenient , Opportunity , Spend. This verb differs from scholazo, "to have leisure;" it stresses the opportunity of doing something, whereas scholazo stresses the "leisure" for engaging in it e.g.,   1—Corinthians 7:5 , "(that) ye may give yourselves to."

Webster's Dictionary [2]
