effusion
Unrestrained feeling release
Effusion is the act or instance of pouring forth, whether liquid, gas, or words.
In medicine, it refers specifically to fluid escaping into body cavities where it shouldn't be, as in pleural effusion.
More commonly, effusion describes an unrestrained outpouring of emotion or speech: Her effusion of gratitude embarrassed him.
The word often carries a slightly negative connotation, suggesting excessive or gushing expression that lacks restraint.
