amusing
UK: əˈmjuːzɪŋ | US: əˈmjuːzɪŋ
adj. causing laughter or providing entertainment; enjoyable
v. (present participle of amuse) keeping someone entertained or laughing
The word amusing derives from the verb amuse, which entered English in the late 15th century from the French amuser ("to entertain, divert"). The French term likely originated from à (to) + muser (to stare idly), though its exact roots are debated. Over time, amuse evolved to mean "to occupy pleasantly," and the suffix -ing turns it into an adjective describing something that entertains or delights.
