Spontaneous describes something that happens naturally, suddenly, and without being planned in advance — a spontaneous decision to go on a trip, a spontaneous burst of laughter, or spontaneous applause that starts on its own without anyone leading it. It's generally a positive word, suggesting fun, freedom, and not overthinking things, though it can also describe events that simply happen on their own without an obvious planned cause, like spontaneous combustion, where something catches fire without an outside flame.
自發的、隨興的
組成From Latin 'sponte' (of one's own accord, willingly).
