What does "effervescence" mean?

Effervescence refers to the process of bubbling, as gas escapes from a liquid. Think of the lively, fizzy sound and visual of bubbles rising rapidly in a glass of champagne or a carbonated soda. Beyond the physical, the word is often used metaphorically to describe a person's personality. If someone is effervescent, they are bubbling over with high spirits, enthusiasm, and vivacity, much like a drink that is constantly active and sparkling.
