Buoyant can also mean having the quality to rise or float in liquid.

Buoyant may have come from the Spanish word boyante, present participle of boyar (to float), in the 1570s.

I was so buoyant when I saw this word of the day that I decided to think deeply about it, but none of my thoughts were buoyant enough to float to the surface.
