Hilarity
Hilarity (?; 277) , noun
[Latin hilaritas: compare French hilarité. See Hilarious.]
Boisterous mirth; merriment; jollity. — Goldsmith
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.
