How it's used
Describes a deep, internal sense of passion or zeal that is often directed toward a cause or a person. It carries a slightly literary or dramatic weight, so it is less common in casual, everyday small talk than it is in speeches, writing, or when describing someone's intense dedication to a project.
Examples
He helped me solve the problem with great enthusiasm.
Do you really need to be that enthusiastic?
Related words
Common phrases
to throw oneself into something with full passion
Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly use this to describe simple excitement or happiness, but it specifically implies a profound, sustained, and almost overwhelming level of dedication or fervor.
