ardour
Significado: Intense feeling of passion, warmth, or eager enthusiasm, often directed towards a person or cause.
Ardour (American: 'ardor') implies a burning, deeply felt passion that may be romantic, intellectual, or ideological. It is more literary and elevated than 'enthusiasm' and suggests an emotion that consumes the person experiencing it. Common collocations include 'youthful ardour,' 'romantic ardour,' and 'with renewed ardour.' In contemporary journalism it often describes the intensity of political or artistic commitment.
