用法筆記
Common in phrases that describe trends ('the decline/rise of cinemagoing') or personal routines ('cinemagoing habits', 'cinemagoing routine'). Usually uncountable. Can also be used before a noun (attributive position) to describe something related to cinema visits — e.g. 'cinemagoing experience', 'cinemagoing trends'. Unlike a true adjective, it cannot follow a linking verb (*'This is very cinemagoing').
