Hilarity In Webster's Dictionary

\Hi*lar"i*ty\ (?; 277), n. [L. hilaritas: cf. F. hilarit['e]. See {Hilarious}.] Boisterous mirth; merriment; jollity. --Goldsmith. Note: Hilarity differs from joy: the latter, excited by good news or prosperity, is an affection of the mind; the former, produced by social pleasure, drinking, etc., which rouse the animal spirits, is more demonstrative. Syn: Glee; cheerfulness; mirth; merriment; gayety; joyousness; exhilaration; joviality; jollity.
