soared
Rose on thermals
Soared is the past tense of soar—to fly or rise high in the air, especially with little apparent effort: The eagle soared above the canyon.
Figuratively, things that increase dramatically soar: Temperatures soared, prices soared, her spirits soared.
The word suggests effortless ascent or sudden, impressive height.
