"嬉しい" meaning in All languages combined

See 嬉しい on Wiktionary

Adjective [Japanese]

IPA: [ɯ̟ɾe̞ɕiː]
Etymology: From Old Japanese. First cited to the Man'yōshu of circa 759 CE. A surface analysis suggests that this might be derived from 熟れる (ureru, “to ripen, mature”) + しい (shii, “adjective forming suffix”). However, it is unclear how the sense of "feeling mature" would match the sense of "glad".
