Morphology
inspirational = inspiration (transparent) = inspire + ation + al
This is a regular derivation from 'inspiration' plus '-al,' and the encouraging meaning is easily inferred from the base.
Etymology
Inspirational is built on the same idea as inspire, from in- 'into' + spirare 'to breathe', so to be inspired is like being 'breathed into' with energy or ideas. That's why something inspirational makes you feel encouraged, motivated, or full of hope.
