pizzazz
Eye-catching energy
Pizzazz is lively energy, flair, or stylish appeal—the quality that makes something exciting or eye-catching.
A performance might lack pizzazz, a dress might have pizzazz, a presenter might need more pizzazz: The show was technically perfect but had no pizzazz.
The word itself has a flashy, attention-grabbing sound that matches its meaning.
Also spelled pizazz.
