exultation
Victorious joy felt
Exultation is triumphant joy—the feeling of elation that comes from victory, success, or vindication.
It suggests celebration that's hard to contain: The crowd erupted in exultation when the final whistle blew.
The word carries more intensity than mere happiness; exultation implies you've overcome something or achieved what seemed uncertain.
