“halcyon”

-(adjective) In our list of most beautiful words, halcyon is by far the happiest. Halcyon is defined as happy, joyful, carefree and idyllic. We love the way halcyon rolls off the tongue; it is a smooth, delicate sound. We are thrilled to know that such an aesthetically pleasing word holds such a delightful meaning. After all, happiness is always beautiful.
