lively, energetic, and enthusiastic quality

A strong and happy energy that makes a person seem very lively and full of life.

用法パターン: [someone]'s vivacity; the vivacity of [someone/something]
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes confuse "vivacity" with "vividness". "Vivacity" usually describes a person’s lively and energetic manner, while "vividness" describes how clear, bright, or strong an image, memory, or color is.
