exultation

Etymology

From Old French exultacion, from Latin exsultatio.

noun

  1. The act of exulting; great joy at success or victory, or at any advantage gained; rapturous delight
    Strange that this idea carried with it something of exultation! so much does the pride of man rejoice in aught that marks him from his fellows, and little does it seem to matter whether that mark be for good or for evil. 1832, Letitia Elizabeth Landon, Heath's Book of Beauty, 1833, The Talisman, pages 65–66
