Event: Event is the goal of the experiment and can consist of one or more outcomes. (For example, if the question is asking how many red smarties are in a package, the event is figuring out the number of red smarties in a package.)
Examples:
There are 20 smarties in a package. There are green, yellow, red, blue, orange, and purple smarties. Samantha really likes red smarties, but she knows that there are only 5 red smarties in the package. If Samantha randomly pulls a smartie from the package, what is the probability that it will be red?
Solution:
Event = pulling a red smartie from the package

In the general measure-theoretic description of probability spaces, an event may be defined as an element of a selected Ï-algebra of subsets of the sample space. Under this definition, any subset of the sample space that is not an element of the Ï-algebra is not an event, and does not have a probability. With a reasonable specification of the probability space, however, all events of interest will be elements of the Ï-algebra.

A event means something happening or has already happened...
Related to probability and used in concepts of sample space .

I don't know, but wikipedia has a page with different theories on it from a philosophical standpoint. Very interesting.
