Etymology
The word 'chortled' is a portmanteau created by Lewis Carroll in his poem 'The Jabberwocky,' which was published in 'Through the Looking-Glass' in 1871. Carroll combined the words 'chuckle' and 'snort' to describe a special kind of laughter. Over time, 'chortle' has become a recognized term in the English language, capturing a specific expression of laughter that conveys joy or amusement. Its playful nature reflects Carroll's whimsical style, and it has since been adopted into everyday language to describe similar types of laughter. The word has been embraced for its uniqueness and ability to express a particular nuance of laughter that other words may not encompass.
