Exhilarating

The adjective exhilarating means something that makes you feel very excited and happy.

Synonyms are breathtaking, inspiring, intoxicating, or thrilling.

The word origins from Latin (1530s) exhilaratus meaning “cheerful, merry”, past participle of exhilarare meaning “gladden, cheer”. It comes from ex meaning “out, out of, thoroughly” plus hilarare meaning “make cheerful”, from hilarus meaning “cheerful”.
