elated

Thrilled beyond measure

Elated means extremely happy, often with a sense of triumph or relief.

The feeling typically comes from good news or achievement: She was elated when she got the job offer.

Elated suggests a buoyant, soaring quality—happiness that lifts you up rather than simply pleases.
