Kvell

from Word of the Day · host Word of the Day

Kvell is a verb that means to be happy and proud. Our word of the day comes almost directly from Yiddish and is mostly used in informal contexts. Example: Brad isn’t a man typically given to expressing his joy. So it was deeply amusing to see him unabashedly kvell when his daughter graduated with honors.
