Etymology

The term went through various stages of spelling and pronunciation, appearing in Early Middle English forms before becoming standardized in Modern English. Throughout its history, 'blithe' has often been associated with carefree attitudes, reflecting a lightness of being that stands in contrast to more somber states of mind.
