Vivacious
means "full of life," it can be traced back to the Latin verb
"vivere," meaning "to live." The word was created around
the mid-17th century using the Latin adjective "vivax," meaning
"long-lived, vigorous, or high-spirited." Other descendants of
"vivere" in English include "survive," "revive,"
and "victual"—all of which came to life during the 15th century—and
"vivid" and "convivial," both of which surfaced around the
same time as "vivacious." Somewhat surprisingly, the word
"live" is not related; it comes to us from the Old English word
"libban."
Your success and happiness lies in you.
Your
success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you
shall form an invincible host against difficulties. Helen Keller.
