exuberant
UK: ɪɡˈzjuːbərənt | US: ɪɡˈzuːbərənt
adj. full of energy, excitement, and cheerfulness
adj. growing luxuriantly or abundantly
The word "exuberant" originates from Latin exuberare, combining ex- (meaning "out") and uber (meaning "abundant" or "fertile," related to uber "udder," symbolizing richness). The suffix -ant forms adjectives indicating a state or quality. Originally describing plants growing vigorously, it later extended metaphorically to describe overflowing energy or enthusiasm in people.
