Etymology 1

From Middle English joye, borrowed from Old French joie, from Late Latin gaudia, neuter plural (mistaken as feminine singular) of Latin gaudium (“joy”), from gaud?re (“to be glad, rejoice”). Doublet of jo. Displaced native Middle English wunne (from Old English wynn), Middle English hight, hught (“joy, hope”) (from Old English hyht), Middle English rot, root (“joy, delight”) (from Old English r?t), while partially replacing Middle English blisse (“joy, bliss”) (from Old English blisse, bl?þs). Middle English gleo (“joy, glee”) (from Old English gl?ow, gl?w (“glee”)) was at first displaced but later resurrected as English glee.
