Webster's 1828 Dictionary

AMUSE

v.t.s as z. [Gr. and L. musso.] 1. To entertain the mind agreeably; to occupy or detain attention with agreeable objects, whether by singing, conversation, or a show of curiosities. Dr. Johnson remarks, that amuse implies something less lively than divert, and less important than please. Hence it is often said, we are amused with trifles.
2. To detain; to engage the attention by hope or expectation; as, to amuse one by flattering promises.

 

AMUSED

pp. s as z. Agreeably entertained; having the mind engaged by something pleasing.

 

AMUSEMENT

n.s as z. That which amuses, detains or engages the mind; entertainment of the mind; pastime; a pleasurable occupation of the senses, or that which furnishes it, as dancing, sports or music.

 

AMUSER

n.s as z. One who amuses, or affords an agreeable entertainment to the mind.

AMUSE

A *muse ", v. t. [imp. & p. p. Amused; p. pr. & vb. n. Amusing. ] Etym: [F. amuser to make stay, to detain, to amuse, ad ) + OF. muser. See Muse, v.]

 

1. To occupy or engage the attention of; to lose in deep thought; to absorb; also, to distract; to bewilder. [Obs. ] Camillus set upon the Gauls when they were amused in receiving their gold. Holland. Being amused with grief, fear, and fright, he could not find the house. Fuller.

 

2. To entertain or occupy in a pleasant manner; to stir with pleasing or mirthful emotions; to divert. A group children amusing themselves with pushing stones from the top [of the cliff ], and watching as they plunged into the lake. Gilpin.

 

3. To keep in extraction; to beguile; to delude. He amused his followers with idle promises. Johnson.

 

Syn. -- To entertain; gratify; please; divert; beguile; deceive; occupy. -- To Amuse, Divert, Entertain. We are amused by that which occupies us lightly and pleasantly. We are entertained by that which brings our minds into agreeable contact with others, as conversation, or a book. We are diverted by that which turns off our thoughts to something of livelier interest, especially of a sportive nature, as a humorous story, or a laughable incident. Whatever amuses serves to kill time, to lull the faculties, and to banish reflection. Whatever entertains usually a wakens the understanding or gratifies the fancy. Whatever diverts is lively in its nature, and sometimes tumultuous in its effects. Crabb.
