Amazon-haeru: Amazon grow

It means the state of having a good laugh. At first, the character for laughter was “笑,” but only the first letter “w” (representing: wara) of the Romanized word warai is used. For emphasis, the “w” is lined up as www, and the appearance of the “w” makes it “grass.” More grass became amazon.
