a controlled chemical fire your body lights on purpose and calls a good time
means a lively feeling of eager enthusiasm or stirred-up energy, often pleasurable, in anticipation of or response to something.
from From the Latin verb 'excitare,' meaning to call forth, rouse, or stir up — itself built from 'ex-' (out) and 'citare' (to set in motion, to summon). Latin 'citare' is a cousin of 'ciere,' to put in motion, which also gives us words like 'incite' and 'recite.' The word arrived in English through Old French 'exciter,' first carrying senses of stirring action or rousing feeling; the modern flutter-in-the-chest meaning of pleasurable agitation settled in over later centuries.
