irritainment
or
abusement

<<"Ho, ho! Certainly not! Sometimes we call it 'irritainment.' We are also fond of 'abusement' or 'vexstasy.' But I think the audience should take the fun part, instead of looking at it as something very serious. It's not very complicated, something anybody can do. Maybe it is a little more sophisticated than banging on a piece of metal. But then, that's what it is.

Istvan Kantor on "Full Metal Racket" 1996

And twixt them both a quadrate was the base
Proportioned equally by seuen and nine;
Nine was the circle set in heauens place,
All which compacted made a goodly diapase.

Edmund Spenser, The II. Booke of the Faerie Qveene, Cant. IX ("The house of Temperance, in which doth sober Alma dwell")
