FUNNY
What funny means
Causing laughter or amusement through humor, wit, or an unexpected or absurd quality.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *funny*, likely derived from the noun *fun*, which came from Old French *fonne* meaning "foolishness" or "jest." The ultimate origin is disputed, though some trace it to Old Norse *fúnn* meaning "pleasure" or "sport." The sense shifted from "full of fun" to "amusing" and eventually "strange or odd" by the 19th century.
