Etymology of JOLLIFY
The word "jollify" is derived from two separate words: "jolly" and the suffix "-ify".
"Jolly" originated in the 14th century and is derived from the Old Norse word "jol", meaning a festive or merry occasion. Over time, its meaning evolved to encompass cheerfulness, mirth, liveliness, and enjoyment. From there, "jolly" forms the base of the word "jollify".
The suffix "-ify" comes from the Latin suffix "-ficare" which means "to make" or "to cause". In English, this suffix is used to turn a noun or adjective into a verb, expressing the act of making, causing, or becoming something.
When these two elements are combined, "jollify" is formed, meaning to make or cause someone or something to be jolly or merry.
