effusing
Flowing out freely
Effusing is pouring forth or expressing freely and abundantly.
Someone effusing praise or enthusiasm is letting it flow without restraint: She spent ten minutes effusing about the restaurant.
The word often carries a faintly excessive quality—effusing suggests more gushing than measured appreciation.
