Lewis Carroll coined it in 1872 in 'Through the Looking Glass'.
The word "chortled" does not appear in the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.
Their shocked silence was broken when Uncle Buck chortled.
In "Jabberwocky," "chortled" is likely used by Lewis Carroll to describe a combination of chuckling and snorting with delight or satisfaction. The word itself is a playful and whimsical creation that captures the unique and fantastical tone of the poem.
Chortle is a snorting type of laugh. When she heard a funny joke, Leslie would chortle and make the rest of us laugh! The boy suppressed a chortle when his teacher sat in the glue."He chortled in his joy!" (Lewis Carroll) He chortled annoyingly at his own joke. The kids chortled when the teacher told a joke. "Do not chortle while I am teaching!" She said, after she found the children chortling over a passed note.
Lewis Carroll invented many words in Through the Looking Glass for use in the poem Jabberwocky. The one which could be described as the most 'successful', as it has truly integrated into the English language, is chortled.
