Ball Fun

Ball Fun
“to have a ball” is an English idiomatic expression, but I don’t see what it has to do with having fun?

“to have a ball” means “to have fun”, right? But where’s the logic in that? Is it refering to a well known historic event, where someone helped him/herself to a ball and had fun, or what? It just doesn’t make sense.

Thanks,

A “ball” is a party where everyone dresses elegantly and dances. They are big events where everything looks beautiful. So if you are having a ball, i.e. throwing a big party, you are probably enjoying yourself a lot.
