emocionado

/emoθjoˈnado/ · B1 · adj

excited, enthused, moved

🎉 emoción + -ado = full of emotion, so excited or moved

It comes from emoción, from Latin emovere, meaning to move out or stir up. Someone emocionado has been stirred up: excited about a trip, or moved by a speech. Like English moved, it covers both the happy buzz and the lump in the throat.
