Relating to or producing laughter; characterized by laughter or the tendency to laugh.

Etymology

From Greek 'gelastos' (laughable, from 'gelao', to laugh) + '-ic'. The term appears in medical and philosophical literature to describe laughter-related phenomena.

Kelly Says

Gelastic is one of those words that captures something specific about human behavior—gelastic seizures are a weird neurological condition where people laugh involuntarily, showing how complex the brain's humor circuits are.
