*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_century 1539]
==Definitions==
*1: To [[rejoice]] along with another; to [[express]] to a [[person]] one's [[pleasure]] or [[gratification]] at his [[good]] fortune, [[success]], or [[happiness]].
*2: To [[express]] [[sympathetic]] [[joy]] on the occasion of; to express joy, [[pleasure]], or satisfaction at (an [[event]] or circumstance).
