n 1: feeling an inappropriate lack of seriousness [ant:
{gravity}, {solemnity}]
2: a manner lacking seriousness

Levity \Lev"i*ty\ (l[e^]v"[i^]*t[y^]), n. [L. levitas, fr. levis
light in weight; akin to levare to raise. See {Lever}, n.]
1. The quality of weighing less than something else of equal
bulk; relative lightness, especially as shown by rising
through, or floating upon, a contiguous substance;
buoyancy; -- opposed to {gravity}.
[1913 Webster]

He gave the form of levity to that which ascended;
to that which descended, the form of gravity. --Sir.
W. Raleigh.
[1913 Webster]

This bubble by reason of its comparative levity to
the fluidity that incloses it, would ascend to the
top. --Bentley.
[1913 Webster]

2. Lack of gravity and earnestness in deportment or
character; trifling gayety; frivolity; sportiveness;
vanity. " A spirit of levity and libertinism."
--Atterbury.
[1913 Webster]

--Calamy.
[1913 Webster]

3. Lack of steadiness or constancy; disposition to change;
fickleness; volatility.

The levity that is fatigued and disgusted with
everything of which it is in possession. --Burke.

Syn: Inconstancy; thoughtlessness; unsteadiness;
inconsideration; volatility; flightiness.

Usage: {Levity}, {Volatility}, {Flightiness}. All these words
relate to outward conduct. Levity springs from a
lightness of mind which produces a disregard of the
proprieties of time and place.Volatility is a degree
of levity which causes the thoughts to fly from one
object to another, without resting on any for a
moment. Flightiness is volatility carried to an
extreme which often betrays its subject into gross
impropriety or weakness. Levity of deportment, of
conduct, of remark; volatility of temper, of spirits;
flightiness of mind or disposition.
[1913 Webster]
