About

The word 兴奋 is formed by combining two characters: 兴, which conveys the idea of rising, flourishing, or being uplifted, and 奋, which means to exert oneself, to strive, or to be vigorous. Together, they conceptually merge to depict an internal state of agitated, lively, and heightened energy, effectively creating the meaning of "excitement" or "to be excited".
