Having a strong, pleasant flavor with a sharp or tangy quality, or showing energetic enthusiasm and liveliness.
Where the word comes from
Zesty comes from zest, which originally meant the colored outer skin of citrus fruits. The word entered English around the 1680s from French zeste, whose origin is uncertain but possibly connected to Italian zesta (a citrus peel). By the early 1800s, zest had broadened to mean enthusiasm or vigor, and zesty followed as an adjective meaning either sharp-flavored or spirited and lively.
