Origin:
The English word "elated" ultimately derives from the Latin verb "effero," which means "to raise up" or "to exalt." The idea behind the word "elated" is that someone who is elated is lifted up in spirits or emotions. The Latin past participle of "effero" is "elatus," which was borrowed into English as "elated" in the late Middle Ages.
