jocund
Full of cheer
Jocund means cheerful and lighthearted—a literary word for someone in high spirits.
The tone is warmly merry rather than boisterous: a jocund host, jocund company.
You'll encounter it more often in older poetry and prose than in everyday speech: In jocund mood, they set off on their journey.
