Definition
A hormone your body releases in stressful or exciting situations that makes your heart beat faster and gives you a burst of energy. People also use the word to describe the intense feeling of excitement itself.
Etymology
Formed from Latin *ad-* “near” and *renes* “kidneys,” because the adrenal glands sit on top of the kidneys. The chemical was first named in the late 1800s when scientists identified this hormone.
Kelly Says
When you feel an ‘adrenaline rush,’ that’s your body’s emergency power system switching on in milliseconds. Your body literally carries tiny chemical “turbo buttons” sitting right above your kidneys, ready to flood your blood with energy.
