To laugh loudly, convulsively, and uncontrollably.
Etymology
From Latin 'cachinnare' (to laugh loudly), an onomatopoeia. The verb form of 'cachinnation.' Romans loved distinguishing types of laughter by their volume and dignity.
Kelly Says
The VERB form — to actively, violently, belly-shakingly LAUGH! When you cachinnate, the whole room knows. It's the laugh that makes other people laugh just from HEARING it! Laughter is literally contagious! 🤣🔊
