Effervescent

Fizzing with bubbles; lively and enthusiastic

Bubbles Rising

Pop open a bottle of sparkling water. Tiny bubbles race to the surface, fizzing and dancing. This is effervescent—giving off bubbles of gas, fizzing with energy.

The word comes from Latin effervescere (to boil up). Something effervescent doesn't just sit still—it bubbles, fizzes, and sparkles with activity.
