Glad
[Compar. Gladder (?); superl. Gladdest (?).] [AS. glæd bright, glad; akin to D. glad smooth, G. glatt, OHG. glat smooth, shining, Icel. gla(?)r glad
  1. Pleased] joyous; happy; cheerful; gratified; -- opposed to sorry, sorrowful, or unhappy; -- said of persons, and often followed by of, at, that, or by the infinitive, and sometimes by with, introducing the cause or reason.

    A wise son maketh a glad father. Prov. x. 1.

    He that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. Prov. xvii. 5.

  2. Wearing a gay or bright appearance; expressing or exciting joy; producing gladness; exhilarating.

    Syn. -- Pleased; gratified; exhilarated; animated; delighted; happy; cheerful; joyous; joyful; cheering; exhilarating; pleasing; animating. -- Glad, Delighted, Gratified. Delighted expresses a much higher degree of pleasure than glad. Gratified always refers to a pleasure conferred by some human agent, and the feeling is modified by the consideration that we owe it in part to another. A person may be glad or delighted to see a friend, and gratified at the attention shown by his visits.
