Word origin

The word 'effervesce' originated from the Latin word 'effervescere', which means 'to boil up'. The term was first used in English in the early 17th century. The concept of effervescence is commonly associated with the bubbling and fizzing of carbonated drinks, but it has also been extended to describe the lively and enthusiastic nature of people or things.
