When a liquid effervesces, tiny bubbles of gas form in it and rise — the drink fizzes, the tablet in water fizzes, the mixture seems to boil up with air. That is the home meaning, and it is a rather formal or scientific verb. In the kitchen or the shop, people say fizz or bubble, not effervesce. Though actually, English also stretches the word to people and rooms: someone can effervesce with excitement, meaning they bubble with talk and energy, like a fizzy drink. That use is lively and a little literary. You will meet the adjective effervescent far more often than this verb, both for drinks and for bright, sparkling people. Do not mix it with evaporate, which is when a liquid slowly turns into air and seems to disappear; that is not about bubbles.
冒泡、起泡(液體產生氣泡;人若「冒泡」則是興高采烈、話多跳的比喻。動詞偏書面,日常說「冒泡」「有氣」)
組成From Latin effervescere, 'to boil up.' By the pieces you can still see: ef- (out) + Latin ferv- (hot, boiling) + -esce (begin to).
