Cf. {Glabrous}.] [1913 Webster] 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.

Syn: Pleased; gratified; exhilarated; animated; delighted; happy; cheerful; joyous; joyful; cheering; exhilarating; pleasing; animating. Usage: {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.
