Funny or amusing in a way that makes people laugh or smile.
From Latin 'humor' meaning 'moisture' or 'mood,' based on ancient medicine's theory of four humors controlling personality. Over time, it shifted to mean wit and amusement.
Medieval doctors thought your personality was determined by liquids in your body called 'humors'—so someone in a good mood had the 'right humor'—which is why we still call funny things 'humorous' today!
