Etymology

The word 'zestful' derives from the noun 'zest,' which originated in the late 14th century, primarily used to describe the outer peel of citrus fruits that adds flavor to food. The term 'zest' is believed to come from the Old French 'zeste,' stemming from the Latin 'citrus', relating to citrus fruits. Over time, the meaning of zest expanded to symbolize enthusiasm and zeal in a broader context. By the late 19th century, the adjective 'zestful' emerged, capturing the lively and spirited essence associated with exuberance and joyfulness. This evolution reflects how the term transitioned from a culinary description to one that encapsulates a vibrant and energetic attitude towards life.
