Origin of 'exulting'

The word 'exult' comes from the Latin verb 'exultare', which means 'to leap up' or 'to rejoice greatly'. This Latin term is a combination of the prefix 'ex-', meaning 'out', and 'saltare', meaning 'to leap'. The evolution of the term passed through Old French before entering the English language in the late 15th century. Originally used in the context of religious celebrations or triumphs, it gradually expanded to denote any expression of joy or elation. The connotation of exulting has remained positive throughout its history, firmly associating it with moments of high emotion, victory, or ecstatic happiness.
