Willing to take risks and seek new experiences; having a tendency toward adventure and excitement.
From 'adventure' (from Old French 'aventure') + '-some' (Old English suffix meaning 'characterized by' or 'full of'). The suffix '-some' has been used for over a thousand years to create adjectives describing qualities or tendencies.
The suffix '-some' is brilliantly used in English—it creates adjectives that suggest a dominant characteristic. Think 'handsome' (literally 'easy to hand'), 'wholesome,' and 'troublesome.' The word 'adventuresome' perfectly captures the idea of someone naturally inclined toward adventure.
