Usage Examples

Etymology

**joliment** comes from the adjective **joli** (“pretty, bright”), which itself is derived from Latin *jovialis* (of Jupiter, “jovial, cheerful”). The French adverbial suffix **‑ment** is then added, giving *joliment* meaning “in a pretty/cheerful manner.” Thus the word traces back to Latin *jovis* (“Jupiter”) through *jovialis* → *joli* → *joliment*.
