Etymology
The word 'gladdening' is derived from the verb 'gladden', which originated in the late 16th century from the Middle English word 'gladen'. It is a combination of the words 'glad' and the suffix '-en', which is used to form verbs indicating a cause of a state or condition. Over time, 'gladdening' has come to represent the act of causing happiness or joy in others.
