youthful
Not yet aged
Youthful describes qualities associated with being young—energy, freshness, vitality, or appearance.
A youthful face looks young; a youthful enthusiasm suggests the vigor of youth.
Unlike young, youthful can apply regardless of actual age: She maintained a youthful outlook well into her eighties.
The word carries positive connotations, implying desirable qualities rather than immaturity.
