exhilarates
Fills with joy
Exhilarates means to make someone feel intensely alive, energized, or thrilled.
The word suggests a rush of vitality or high spirits: The cold mountain air exhilarates me.
What exhilarates often involves physical sensation—speed, height, fresh air—though ideas and achievements can exhilarate too: Victory exhilarates the whole team.
