spiritedness

/ˈspɪɹɪtɪdnəs/ noun

The property of being spirited, of having spirit.

Word Origin Spiritedness traces back to Latin spirare 'to breathe' — because spirit originally meant breath or life force. The same root gives us inspire (breathe in), expire (breathe out), conspire (breathe together), and perspire (breathe through). So spiritedness is the quality of having a lot of that vital breath, that lively energy.
