Corejoice

/koʊˈrɛdʒɔɪs/ verb

Definition

To rejoice together with someone else; to share in celebrating good news or happiness.

Etymology

From co- (together) + rejoice, from Old French resjoir, from re- (again) + joir (to enjoy), ultimately from Latin gaudere (to be glad).

Kelly Says

Unlike individual joy, corejoicing creates a social bond—when you celebrate with others, your happiness literally gets stronger, which neuroscience shows activates mirror neurons in their brains too.
