gusto - (n.): If you do something with gusto, you do it with a lot of energy and enthusiasm.
  • Synonyms: energy, enthusiasm, excitement, delight, pleasure
  • Antonyms: nonchalance, reluctance, hesitation
  • Origin: 1629 Latin, from gustus meaning "to taste," which actually comes from the ancient European root geus- meaning "enjoy or be pleased"
  • Example: I hope that you will get a good night's sleep tonight so that you will be ready to take tomorrow's first test with gusto!
Watch your peers dance with gusto (and notice the bewildered looks they're getting from some of the people in the background)!
What is something that you do with gusto?
