English Synonyms and Antonyms
enthusiasm
The old meaning of enthusiasm implies a pseudo-inspiration, an almost frantic extravagance in behalf of something supposed to be an expression of the divine will. This sense remains as the controlling one in the kindred noun enthusiast. Enthusiasm has now chiefly the meaning of an earnest and commendable devotion, an intense and eager interest. Against the hindrances of the world, nothing great and good can be carried without a certain fervor, intensity, and vehemence; these joined with faith, courage, and hopefulness make enthusiasm. Zeal is burning earnestness, always tending to vigorous action with all the devotion of enthusiasm, tho often without its hopefulness. Compare EAGER.

How to use enthusiasm in a sentence?
I would have welcomed it with greater enthusiasm had it been announced alongside the strategic plan a month ago.
We noticed there is calm ... We see the enthusiasm that has created.
Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything great. Without it no man is to be feared, and with it none despised.
I think that having women on the ticket, being the candidates for the opposition in this moment, does have the potential to only heighten that enthusiasm and engagement among women more so than it changes their vote, most of these women probably would have voted for a Democrat anyway -- but does it increase their overall engagement with the election itself ? Are they participating, going to the rallies, volunteering, giving more financial support -- all those levels of engagement ? I do think that is an outstanding question that we are all paying attention to.
He was the last, in my view, of the great, great showmen, his enthusiasm for ... music, and success in music, was unequaled.
