...On the other hand, in foreign countries, there are words to describe toys, such as the English word "toy" meaning "something worthless" and the French word "jouet" meaning "something to laugh at."

In Latin it was translated as materia (the English words matter and material, derived from materia, are translated as matter and material in the sense of inorganic matter that is merely matter).
