burgeon
Expand and thrive
Burgeon means to grow or flourish rapidly.
The word originally described plants putting forth buds or shoots, but now applies to anything expanding vigorously: a burgeoning tech industry, their burgeoning romance.
The participle burgeoning appears far more often than the base verb: The city's burgeoning population strained infrastructure.
