Origin

Illustration Explained
The term 'ebullient' originated in the late 16th century and conveyed the sense of ‘boiling’. The expression is derived from the Latin ebullient, (literally rendered ‘boiling up’), originally stemming from the verb ebullire, that is, from e- (a variant of ex- ) ‘out’ + bullire ‘to boil’.
People from varying backgrounds display an ebullient mood both in identical and differential circumstances.
"My mom and my dad are ebullient people, and I think I carry that with me."
"Dogs have an exaggerated, ebullient, perhaps even excessive capacity to form affectionate relationships."
