Felicific is an adjective that means tending to cause happiness.

The Latin word Felix (FAY licks) means ‘happy.’ This word has given birth to words like felicidad (fay LEASE ee dod) the Spanish word for ‘happiness’ as well as names like Felix, Felicity and Felicia — all of which have a meaning related to happiness. If something is felicific, it tends to make people happy.

I enjoyed volunteering to help people in ways that brought happiness to their lives. Having a felicific hobby is a great way to brighten people’s life.
