A rare or archaic word meaning amusement or entertainment, deriving from 'fun' or 'funny.' Modern usage is extremely limited.
An older English formation from 'funny' plus the suffix '-ment' (which creates nouns indicating action, process, or result), though this word has largely fallen out of use.
Words ending in '-ment' like 'enjoyment' and 'amazement' follow a pattern from French and Latin, but 'funniment' never caught on—most speakers just use 'fun' or 'amusement' instead!
