单词 eutrapely
释义

eutrapelyn.

Etymology: < Greek εὐτραπελία, < εὐτράπελος pleasant in conversation, < εὖ well + τρέπειν to turn. The Greek word is used by Aristotle for ‘pleasantness in conversation’ (one of the seven moral virtues enumerated by him); in the New Testament (Ephesians 5:4) for reprehensible levity of speech (the King James Bible has ‘jesting’). The quots. below merely reflect these uses.
Obsolete. rare.
