Definition of humorous
adjective
Note that although humor is the American spelling of humour, humorous is not an American form. This word is spelled the same way in both British and American English, and the spelling humourous is regarded as an error.
Spelling rule
If a word ends in -our (in this case humour), change -our to -or before adding -ous, -ist, and some other endings: humorous; humorist.
