Name a Feel-good Word
Name a feel-good word that you don’t often hear/read/speak but tickles the ear or grabs your attention when you do.
Let’s have a little fun! Name a word that puts a spring in your step, causes you to crack a smile or amuses the mind.
Extra credit to those who wish to explain their word choice or answers in the form of a sentence!
I’ll get us started… One of my favorite words that I don’t hear often is “exuberant”, and it makes me smile because it aptly describes all three of my dogs in the morning.

My feel-good word is: Effervescence!
This word has two distinct meanings. First, effervescence means
the property of forming bubbles; the bubbling of a solution due to the escape of gas. But it is the secondary definition of effervescence that makes it a "feel-good" word for me; that definition being--"having an appealingly lively quality or having a vivacious and enthusiastic personality."

Great word, @AARPLynne !
I'd write "excellent"; we heard this often in the 60s; then as teen "tweet" in the 70s; then lost its cache; now we seldom do, although it is indicative of our front-line health care workers, I think...
