Erumpent is an adjective that means bursting forth.

Our word of the day comes from the Latin erumpen (air ROOM pen) which means ‘erupting.’ It’s mainly used to describe plants or some other form of vegetation that are growing from the ground. But it can also be used figuratively, for example: At that time in New York, it seemed a brand new culture was erumpent. And as this new style of music burst forth, it created a bold new scene.
