Why this word?
“Blithe” is a Germanic word with origins related to bliss, but it’s not always carefree. “Blithe” can mean “happy,” or it can mean “indifferent to the point of callousness.” However, the adjective “blithesome” borrows only the cheerful connotation. It can refer to a person having a jolly disposition, or it can describe anything filled with or causing pleasure. Something blithesome in any sense is a pleasure to be around.
