HAP'PINESS, n. from happy. The agreeable sensations which spring from the enjoyment of good that state of a being in which his desires are gratified, by the enjoyment of pleasure without pain felicity but happiness usually expresses less than felicity, and felicity less than bliss. Happiness is comparative. To a person distressed with pain, relief from that pain affords happiness in other cases we give the name happiness to positive pleasure or an excitement of agreeable sensations. Happiness therefore admits of indefinite degrees of increase in enjoyment, or gratification of desires. Perfect happiness, or pleasure unalloyed with pain, is not attainable in this life.
2. Good luck good fortune.
3. Fortuitous elegance unstudied grace.
For there's a happiness as well as care.
