Cheerful
Definition
A highly rare learned term or obsolete etymological variant, borrowed from a direct Romance neological source, used in the past with the meaning of cheerful, joyful, lively, or brisk. Structurally, the word functioned as an early adjectival adaptation of the root that later gave rise to technical musical terms, abandoned in favor of current standard forms.
