The option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words "one who does a thing for pleasure and not as a profession" is amateur.

  • Ascetic is a person who lives a simple and austere life.
  • Abattoir is a slaughterhouse.
  • Anarchist is a person who believes in the absence of government and laws.
