ebullience

Overflowing high spirits

Ebullience is enthusiastic, bubbling-over energy or excitement.

The word carries a sense of overflow—emotion too abundant to contain: Her ebullience was contagious.

Someone ebullient radiates high spirits, often in a way that spills onto others.

The quality suggests spontaneous, unforced joy rather than performed enthusiasm.
