Something amusing or funny in an odd, whimsical, or clever way; the quality of being droll.
From French 'drolerie,' derived from 'drôle' (funny, odd), plus the noun-forming suffix '-ery' indicating a practice, quality, or collection. Possibly influenced by Dutch or Low German.
Victorian writers loved 'drollery'—it was their word for that specific brand of humor where something is funny because it's unexpected, absurd, or delightfully weird.
