Источник

In the etymology you’ve posted, ‘fun’ is described as «to cheat, hoax» as early as the 1680s. ‘Funny’ is then attested at a later time as a modifier with a slightly modified sense emphasizing the humorous aspect of something like a hoax or joke. A particular ‘cheat’, ‘trick’, or ‘hoax’ could seem more like a good-natured laugh or more like a mean-spirited attack. You see this spectrum of meanings in the various definitions.

At it’s core, ‘funny’ means ‘unusual’, ‘unexpected’, or ‘odd’. All the definitions you’ve included in your questions are just different, more specific ways in which it is used to mean this.

Humorous

Things which are completely expected, known, and ordinary are generally not funny. Most humor involves misdirection and surprise, so it fits in with the ideas of unusual and unexpected, i.e. ‘odd’.

Strange

I hope this is clear.

Dishonest

Things or people which are dishonest are not what they’re expected or believed to be. Some uses of ‘funny’ in this sense include «funny money» and «funny business».

Unfriendly

I’m not familiar with this usage, but I’m not from the UK. The closest thing I can think of is «you’re acting funny» when someone seems to be offended. This is said because the person is not acting in their usual manner, but instead in an offended manner. I suppose this could be extended to general unfriendliness fairly easily.

Ill

The important thing to note here is that ‘funny’ can mean «slightly ill». Feeling funny is between feeling healthy and feeling sick. You don’t feel like you normally do, but you don’t feel awful either. A simple stomach ache probably doesn’t go beyond feeling funny, but the flu takes you all the way to sick.

A synonym for this sense of ‘funny’ would be ‘quesy’.

Crazy

Crazy things are so unexpected and unusual that we often can’t figure out why they would be that way.

Other forms: funniest; funnier; funnies

Something that is funny is amusing or comical. Comedians make their living being funny.

It seems like the adjective funny should describe something fun — but it doesn’t always. A fun rollercoaster ride might make you scream instead of laugh. In fact, funny is also used in the sense of something that is fishy or shady, or just a little odd, like a funny feeling, or a person who seems a little funny, meaning weird. So if someone calls you funny, make sure they are smiling before you thank them for the compliment.

Real-life examples: Rigged carnival games, overly friendly salespeople, and deals that seem too good to be true often cause people to think something funny is going on.
