spiritedly

/ˈspɪɹɪtɪdli/ adv

In a spirited manner; with spirit; enthusiastically.

Word Origin From Latin spirare 'to breathe' — spirit is the breath of life. Spiritedly means acting with energy and liveliness. The same root gives us inspire (breathe in), expire (breathe out), conspire (breathe together), and perspire (breathe through). The PIE root *speis- 'to blow' also underlies spume and spout.
