Introduction to the verb amuser
The English translation of the French verb amuser is “to amuse” or “to entertain.” The infinitive form, amuser, is pronounced “ah-mew-zay.”
Amuser comes from the Latin word “mussare,” meaning “to murmur” or “to mutter.” It was first recorded in Middle French in the 16th century and has evolved in meaning to refer to providing entertainment or pleasure.
