A traveling show or fair featuring amusement rides, games, entertainment, and food stalls.
British English compound word combining 'fun' and 'fair,' first appearing in the early 1900s as fairs became more focused on entertainment and amusement rather than commerce.
British people call it a 'funfair' while Americans say 'carnival' or 'amusement park'—the British compound word is actually more descriptive because it tells you exactly what to expect: a fair designed purely for fun!
