zestful
Full of vigor
Zestful means full of energy, enthusiasm, and eager enjoyment: a zestful approach to life, zestful performances that captivated audiences.
The word suggests spirited engagement rather than passive contentment—someone zestful throws themselves into activities with visible pleasure.
Less common than its root zest, but carrying the same sense of vigorous appreciation.
