Etymology
The word 'chortling' was coined by British author Lewis Carroll in his poem 'Jabberwocky,' published in 1871. Carroll created the word by blending 'chuckle' and 'snort' to describe a specific kind of joyful laugh. Since its inception, 'chortle' has gained popularity in English, often used to denote a hearty, particularly joyful type of laughter, vividly depicting a moment of happiness or amusement. Over time, the term has been embraced in both spoken and written English, evolving to describe not only the act of laughter but also the emotion behind it.
