The answer
HUMOR
What humor means
The quality of being amusing or funny, or the ability to perceive and appreciate what is funny in situations and use comedy to make others laugh.
Where the word comes from
Humor comes from the Latin *humour*, meaning "moisture" or "bodily fluid." In medieval medicine, the four humors—blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile—were thought to govern temperament and health. When these fluids were in balance, a person was thought to be in good spirits and could appreciate comedy. Over time, "humor" shifted from referring to bodily liquids to describing a person's disposition, and eventually to mean the ability to perceive or express what is funny.
