Wholesome

wholesome; heartwarming, sweet, pure (approving internet slang)

Origin

An English word rooted in Old English 'hal' (healthy, whole); originally 'healthy, decent, beneficial'. In internet/meme culture 'wholesome' describes something heartwarming, endearing and sincere – free of irony, sarcasm or dark humour. This usage was shaped from around 2016 by the Reddit community r/wholesomememes and corresponding pages on Facebook and Twitter; today it is often an approving comment under touching content.
