Triumphant, outward rejoicing.
Triumphant, outward rejoicing — joy expressed in shouting, cheering, and celebration.
The most outward, public, and demonstrative member: not just felt joy but its expression, literally “a shouting for joy.” Strongly communal and triumphant — crowds, victories, deliverance, “scenes of jubilation” — which sets it against the inward, private states of bliss and euphoria and the absorbed trance of ecstasy or rapture. Elevated in register but common in journalism; lasts the span of the celebration.
Late 14c., from Latin iubilationem “a shouting for joy,” from iubilare “to shout for joy,” related to iubilum “a wild shout.”
Stable since the late 14c. in the sense of exultant, expressed rejoicing. No sourced recent-generation shift.
