effuse
This term describes a steady, outward movement, whether physical or emotional. In a geological or chemical sense, it suggests a slow, continuous release rather than an explosive burst, evoking an image of liquid spreading smoothly across a surface.
When applied to human emotion, the word carries a connotation of overflow. It describes a state where feelings are so abundant that they spill over into outward expression, often implying a lack of restraint or a high degree of enthusiasm that may feel overwhelming to others.
