zestfulness
Eager, lively energy
Zestfulness is the quality of being full of zest—enthusiastic energy and eager enjoyment.
It suggests someone who approaches life with gusto and spirited engagement: Her zestfulness was contagious; soon everyone was dancing.
The word is less common than zest itself, which usually suffices.
