Having a carefree, lighthearted, or joyful heart; characterized by a happy and unburdened spirit.
Compound adjective combining 'blithe' (joyful) and 'hearted' (having a particular kind of heart or disposition). Similar to 'kindhearted' or 'stouthearted,' this follows a well-established English pattern.
In medieval poetry, 'hearted' compounds like this were super common to describe personality types—'stouthearted' warriors, 'lionhearted' kings—showing how people once thought of the heart as the seat of personality, not just the brain!
