Morphology
exhilarated = exhilarate (transparent) = exhilarate + ed
The adjective is formed by adding the past-participle/adjectival suffix '-ed' to the verb 'exhilarate', so the meaning is directly derived from the verb.
Etymology
Exhilarated comes from Latin parts ex- meaning 'completely' and hilar meaning 'cheerful', the same root as hilarious. So, to feel exhilarated is to be 'completely cheerful', very happy, excited, and full of energy.
