Jocose is an adjective that means playful or humorous.
Our word of the day originated from the Latin word jocus (jo KOOSE) which bought us words like joke and jocular. Jocose is a synonym of words such as comical or whimsical.
When Steve entered the office with that weird new haircut, we all found it hilarious. Steve, on the other hand, didn’t find it remotely jocose.
