Etymology

The word 'cheery' stems from the Middle English term 'cheri', which is derived from the Old English word 'ceoru', meaning 'joy' or 'gladness'. Over time, the adaptation of 'cheer' has brought forth various forms including 'cheerful', which began to gain traction by the 15th century. The suffix '-est' is commonly used in English to form superlatives, which further transformed 'cheerful' into 'cheeriest'. Given the historical evolution of language, words expressing emotions like joy have constantly shifted but often retain a core meaning related to positivity. 'Cheeriest' thus embodies the idea of an overflowing sense of joy, merging historical context with contemporary usage.
