Effervescence

/ˌɛfərˈvɛsəns/ noun

Definition

The rapid escape of gas from a liquid, producing bubbles and fizzing; figuratively, vivacious enthusiasm or high spirits that seem to bubble over.

Etymology

From Latin 'effervescere,' meaning 'to boil up,' from 'ex-' (out) + 'fervere' (to boil). The word captures both the literal chemical process of gas escaping from liquid and the metaphorical sense of bubbling excitement.

Kelly Says

Picture opening a shaken soda bottle - that explosive fizzing and bubbling is effervescence! When someone has an effervescent personality, their excitement bubbles up and escapes just like those gas bubbles in your drink.
