Definitions

  1. Easy listening music, whether played live or recorded, especially if regarded as uninteresting.

Word origin

The noun is a blend of music + the letters ak from Kodak, a well-known brand in 1934 when the word was coined by the American inventor, scientist, and soldier George Owen Squier (1865–1934), who developed the original technical basis for the service.
