Morphology

vibrant = vibrate (semi-transparent) = vibr + ant

The suffix '-ant' forms adjectives indicating a tendency or inclination, but the sense of 'full of energy and life' is a metaphorical extension.

Etymology

Vibrant comes from the Latin vibrare 'to shake' and shares the same root as vibrate and vibration. When someone is full of energy and life they almost 'shake' with activity, which is why we call a lively person vibrant.
