hearty laugh
Deep, booming amusement
A hearty laugh is a full, loud, unrestrained expression of amusement—the kind that comes from deep in the chest and fills a room.
It suggests genuine enjoyment rather than polite or nervous laughter: His joke drew a hearty laugh from the whole table.
The phrase often appears in descriptions of warmth or good fellowship.
