Givers

/ˈɡɪvərz/ noun

Definition

People who give or present something to others; those who are generous or donate.

Etymology

English: plural of 'giver,' from 'give' plus -er (suffix meaning 'one who does'); giver has been used since Old English to describe those who bestow things.

Kelly Says

Researchers studying generosity found that generous people—true 'givers'—are happier, but the tricky part is that people who give to show off aren't actually happier, which means the motivation behind the gift matters more than the gift itself.
