dilettante vs amateur
A dilettante is a dabbler, someone who does something for play, for fun. The word itself is airy, has flair, and comes from the same root as “delight.”
An amateur is a beginner, someone who embarks on something for reasons other than money. The word implies a lack of expertise and experience, but also an interest, an inclination, a devotion. The word comes from the same root as “lover.”

@Acer I didn't know the etymology for 'amateur' came from 'lover'. Neat.
