Background - Simple English Wikipedia

# Background

### From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

| This article or section is written in the "second person". This means that it is addressed to "you". Good encyclopedia articles are never addressed to "you", and do not make statements about "you". Editors can help by cleaning up the article and writing it in another way, so that it does not have the word "you".

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, you may notice that there are 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.

This short article can be made longer. You can help Wikipedia by adding to it.
