单词 | ebullient |
释义 | e·bul·lient ![]() adj. 1. Zestfully enthusiastic. 2. Boiling or seeming to boil; bubbling. [Latin ēbulliēns, ēbullient-, present participle of ēbullīre, to bubble up : ē-, ex-, up, out; see EX- + bullīre, to bubble, boil.] e·bullient·ly adv. Usage Note: Traditionally, ebullient is pronounced (ĭ-bŭlyənt), with a short u in the second syllable, as in gull. This is apparently still the preferred pronunciation in British English. In American English, the pronunciation (ĭ-blyənt), with the second syllable like bull, is now equally common. |
