I was wondering what other words (preferably in common use) derive from "Greek gelastes (laugher), from gelan (to laugh). A related word is agelast: someone who never laughs."
Does anyone out there know of any?
Thanks - abelleauc
gelastic
adj. - pertaining to or used in laughing
gelasin :- dimple in the cheek that appears when one smiles
>(preferably in common use)
oops.
agelast: someone who never laughs." Oh! A-gelast as in against. I've been reading it age-last. Speaking of oops.
Edit: welcome, Low A. I got this from a couple of Onelook searches:
Sorry, there are no words matching the pattern expand:gelast in the selected dictionaries.
Sorry, there are no words matching the pattern expand:gelas in the selected dictionaries.
At onelook, enter *gelast* or *gelas*
I get 27 matches and 106 matches respectively. * matches any number of letters (including 0).
Thanks, everyone!
I especially like gelastic.
