'cheering' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with human feelings as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'fling it up wildly' is the wordplay.
'wildly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fling'+'it'+'up'='flingitup'
'flingitup' anagrammed gives 'UPLIFTING'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uplifting that I've seen before include "Inspirational" , "Elating" , "Raising" , "Positive" .)
