A person or thing that makes others happy or causes gladness.
From gladden plus -er (agent suffix). It refers to one who brings happiness, though the term is relatively uncommon in modern usage.
A gladdener might be an old friend who visits, a funny dog, or even a song—anything or anyone whose presence reliably brings joy to the people around them!
