A portmanteau word derived from "costume play". Associated mainly with fans of anime, science fiction, comic books and the like, who dress like favorite characters. It doesn't apply to the formal stage, and I'm not sure whether re-enactors consider what they do to be cosplay., although that activity definitely requires careful costuming.
Anime is also a word that hasn't been addressed here.
