Etymology:
"Prosperous" and "thriving" both mean "successful," but each has its own personality. "Prosperous" suggests continuing financial success or well-being (as in "a prosperous family" or "the most prosperous in the county"). "Thriving" adds to "prosperous" the idea of healthy growth (as in "a thriving business"). "Flourishing" is another "successful" word. It suggests being at the point of greatest success and growth (as in "a flourishing career as a writer" or "an era of flourishing industry").
