Thank you both for your submissions. I generally go for answers which are accurate & concise. This answer matches that criterion. But Zeki's explanatory notes are most illuminating. I always attend to long explanatory notes because of the light they shed on the Turkish language.

hislerimi tam olarak anlatan kelime gurur

Alternatively, you can also translate it such a way :
Evet, hissettiklerimi/duygularımı gurur kelimesi ile tarif edebilirim.
