/ˈvaɪbrənt/
(vibrant)
full of life
Etymology
'vibrant' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'vibrans' (the present participle of 'vibrare'), where the root 'vibr-' meant 'to shake' or 'to move quickly to and fro'.
'vibrant' changed from Latin 'vibrans' into French 'vibrant' and was later borrowed into English as the modern word 'vibrant' (attested in English from the 18th century).
Initially, it meant 'shaking' or 'trembling' (related to motion); over time it shifted to the current senses of 'full of life or energy' and 'bright/intense in color'.
