glee
Mischievous high spirits
Glee is a feeling of lively delight or triumphant joy, often with an edge of mischief or satisfaction at someone else's misfortune: She watched with glee as her rival stumbled.
The word suggests visible, almost childlike pleasure—more exuberant than mere happiness.
In music, a glee is an unaccompanied part-song for three or more voices, popular in 18th-century England.
