# Background

### From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Background is that what can be seen or heard behind other things that are closer or louder. For example, while the police are talking to someone, there are usually people watching from a distance - in the background. Or a painting of a city might have a blue sky in the background.

Background is a compound word - it comes from back + ground.
