Merry, mirthful (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jovial

This clue is a double definition.

'merry' is the first definition.
(I know that merry can be written as jovial)

'mirthful' is the second definition.
(I know that mirthful can be written as jovial)

(Other definitions for jovial that I've seen before include "Cheerful, friendly" , "Hearty and cheerful like Jupiter" , "Genial, joyous" , "'Jolly, merry (6)'" , "Full of cheerful good humour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
