Glee
The word glee is used to convey great delight, especially from one’s own good fortune. It is, however, also used at times to convey the delight at others misfortune.
Origin:
The word is from Old English and presumably has a Proto-Germanic root, even though it is absent in most other Germanic languages. A poetry word in Old English and Middle English that went obsolete between 1500-1700 , it isn’t clear how it found its way back into usage in the 18th Century.
Usage:
The glee on her face was evident after she won the singing competition.
