Frivolity (6)
I believe the answer is:
levity
'frivolity' is the definition.
(I know that levity is a type of frivolity)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for levity that I've seen before include "Light-heartedness" , "Unseriousness" , "Facetiousness" , "Disrespectful treatment of a serious matter" , "Lack of seriousness" .)
