WIY: It is one thing to say that every word in Lashon Hakodesh has a mystical meaning and represents some specific aspect of this universe. Unfortunately for the vast majority of us (and certainly those who are not complete experts in Kaballah), we don’t have the precise dictionary that tells us what each word means and how it relates to creation as a whole. Thus, of our practical intents and purposes, some words in Lashon Hakodesh can have multiple meanings and sometimes two words can mean the same thing. The word S’chok or Tz’chok (or one of the forms of L’tzachek, whether that precise word appears in Chumash or not) could definitely and easily be correctly translated as, “fun”.
