Puckish

/ˈpʌkɪʃ/

शरारती; बहुत अधिक चंचल/खेल-खिलाड़ी स्वभाव वाला

Origin & History

From Puck (the mischievous sprite in English folklore and Shakespeare’s *A Midsummer Night’s Dream*) + -ish (“having the quality of”).

‘Puck’ (अंग्रेज़ी लोककथाओं और शेक्सपीयर के *A Midsummer Night’s Dream* का शरारती परीलोक/स्प्राइट पात्र) + ‘-ish’ (अर्थ: ‘वैसा गुण/स्वभाव वाला’) से बना।

Definition

Describes someone (often in a charming way) who likes to play tricks, tease, or behave in a light, impish, playful manner rather than seriously or maliciously.

किसी व्यक्ति के ऐसे (अक्सर मनोहर) स्वभाव का वर्णन, जो हल्की-फुल्की शरारतें करता हो, छेड़ता हो, या हँसी-मज़ाक/चंचलता से भरा हो—गंभीर या दुर्भावनापूर्ण तरीके से नहीं।
