2 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Hilarity \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. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: hilarity n : great merriment [syn: {mirth}, {mirthfulness}, {glee}, {gleefulness}]
