Addition can mean two things. First, it's when you add something extra to a building, like a new room or section. Second, it's a special name or title that you add to your own name to show your job, where you live, or how important you are. In the past, it was important to include this title in legal documents, but we don't do that anymore.
Definition: Addition refers to a structure that is connected to or attached to another building that was built before it. It can also be a title or name added to a person's name to show their rank, occupation, or place of residence.
The examples illustrate that an addition can be a physical structure added to a building or a title added to a person's name. In both cases, the addition is something extra that is connected to or appended to something else.
