gushing
/ˈɡʌʃɪŋ/
The word evokes a powerful image of an uncontrolled surge, whether it be a physical liquid or an emotional outburst. The common thread is the lack of restraint and the sheer volume of what is being released.
In its literal sense, it describes a sudden, forceful flow. It is more violent and rapid than 'leaking' or 'streaming,' suggesting a burst or a rupture.
When applied to speech or emotion, the connotation often shifts toward the negative or critical. While it implies warmth and enthusiasm, it frequently suggests that the praise is excessive, insincere, or lacking in restraint. It differs from 'passionate' by implying a lack of composure or an over-the-top delivery.

Etymology
The word 'gush' entered English in the late 15th century. Its origin is imitative, likely stemming from an onomatopoeic sound representing the rapid outflow of liquid. It is thought to be related to Middle Dutch 'gūschen' (to rush) and possibly Old Norse 'geysa' (to gush). Initially, it referred to the physical act of flowing, but by the 18th century, it had developed its figurative meaning of excessive emotional expression.
