prettygoodwordrident (RAI-dent) - adj., laughing, smiling, cheerful.
Primarily the laughing part. This is marked as rare, and certainly less common than its close cousin riant. Both stem from the same Latin verb, rīdēre meaning to laugh -- this one directly, riant after being passed through French.
