The adjective is a regular past-participial/adjectival form of 'inspire' and its meaning ('showing creative or exceptional quality') follows directly from 'inspire'.

Etymology

Inspired comes from the old Latin word spirare, which means 'to breathe', and it is the same root behind the common word spirit. So to be inspired is like having new 'breath' or life put into your mind, which is why it describes very great creativity or strong feeling.
