Inclined to chuckle or laugh easily; amusing and delightful in a quiet, warm way.
From chuckle (likely from Middle English choken, to choke or laugh) with -some (suffix meaning 'having the quality of'). Emerged in 18th-century English.
Chucklesome is the kind of word that sounds like what it means—notice how the double 'ck' in 'chuck' makes it guttural and warm, and '-some' adds coziness. Victorian writers loved this word for characters with gentle humor.
