Etymology of EXHILARATIVE

The word "exhilarative" is derived from the adjective "exhilarating", which in turn comes from the verb "exhilarate".

The verb "exhilarate" is derived from the Latin word "exhilarare", which combines the prefix "ex-" (meaning "out") and "hilarare" (meaning "to gladden" or "to cheer").

So, "exhilarative" is formed by adding the suffix "-ive" to "exhilarate", indicating that something has the quality or ability to exhilarate or bring joy and excitement.
