"Ludic" (LOO-dik) – from the Latin – means "playful." The word is related to "ludicrous."
Example (as used by Pat Kane in The Guardian ): "Um, there’s only one problem: her mother. Who, being a substantial executive, has a somewhat different attitude to the worth of the professions than her wastrel, ludic husband."
