Ways to tell them apart:
Exorbitant refers to something excessive, usually money-related, like a price that's unreasonably high.
Exuberant describes something full of energy or enthusiasm, like someone's mood, not typically used for costs.
Remember, orbit in exorbitant can remind you of something out of normal orbit, implying excess.
Exuberant shares exube- with vigor, emphasizing liveliness.
Only exorbitant makes sense when discussing prices.
