Heartsome adj. 1. Encouraging or cheering.
2. Cheerful; joyful.
The word heartsome is an older, somewhat rare adjective that describes something or someone that is cheerful, pleasant, or full of warmth and joy. It combines heart—symbolizing emotion, kindness, and vitality—with the suffix -some, which denotes a quality or characteristic. In essence, heartsome suggests a quality that lifts the spirits, making it a good fit for describing a person with a bright, uplifting personality or a situation that brings comfort and happiness. It conveys a sense of warmth and positivity that can be emotionally enriching, making it a word often associated with kindness and goodwill.
Though heartsome is not frequently used in modern language, it evokes an endearing sense of cheerfulness and sincerity, and could be used in contexts where one might wish to express an emotional or joyful connection. It might describe someone's disposition—such as a heartsome friend who brings joy to others—or a scene that fills the heart with gladness. In any case, the word carries a gentle, affectionate tone that suggests an uplifting and positive presence.
" For me, life is about being positive and hopeful,
choosing to be joyful,
choosing to be encouraging,
choosing to be empowering."
- Billy Porter
