Exhilaration n. An overwhelming feeling of joy; extreme happiness.
(French: euphorie; Spanish: euforia, excitación; German: Heiterkeit; Italian: allegria)
The word exhilarate comes from the Latin exhilarare, meaning literally “to thoroughly make cheerful.” And that is just what occurs when we experience feelings of exhilaration, we are made thoroughly happy.
At that moment, every thing is good and all of the bad things in life are forgotten.
