A repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a crowded concert trying to pass a message to a friend who is several rows ahead. Just like the challenge of communicating in the noisy crowd, a wave is a repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space. In this analogy, your message is like the energy, the people passing it along are like the particles in the medium, and the concert environment is like the space or matter through which the wave travels.
