Exultation!
It’s a noun. An abstract noun. It’s a something! But you can’t touch it, smell it, hear it…Slide3
Words that might be heard at the dinner table…
"Woohoo!" That's an expression you
might shout in
exultation
or extreme happiness. On
New Year's Eve,
Times Square is bursting with
exultation
as people shout
and sing joyfully to ring in the new year.Slide4
The background…
Exultation
comes from the Latin
exsilire
, which means
"leap out or up." Think of leaping for joy and you've pretty
much captured the sentiment of exultation. This word is
used to describe a kind of triumphant joy, the kind you
might
see at the end of a football game when the winning
team
is pumping their fists, cheering and dumping Gatorade all over their coach.Slide5
The extended definition:
solicitous
When you hear the word solicitous, think of your mom — attentive, caring, and concerned. It's nice when your waiter gives you good service, but if he or she
is
solicitous
, the hovering might annoy you.Slide6
__________
comes from the Greek word for ether, which is a drug that makes you feel light headed and, in larger doses, causes you to lose consciousness. An
___________
substance or sound is one that carries the feeling of ether––something you might see in a vision, that might strike you as heavenly or supernatural

ProwessSlide9
The background:
Solicitous
comes from the Latin roots
sollus
"entire" and
citus
"set in motion." If someone is solicitous, they are entirely set in motion caring for you. Your neighbors are solicitous if they try to help your family out all the time. Use this word too if you're eager to do something. A good student will be solicitous to appear interested in what the teacher says — even when it's not that interesting.Slide10
ethereal
Something
ethereal is airy and insubstantial, such as a ghostly figure at the top of the stairs. It might also be something delicate and light, like a singer’s
ethereal
voice.Slide11
Example:
Each makes it possible for a performer to be
ethereal
; each gives the illusion of floating.
