Morphology

inspirited = inspire (transparent) = inspire + ed

Formed by the verb 'inspire' with the regular adjectival/past participle suffix '-ed'; the meaning 'filled with inspiration' is directly derivable though the usage is somewhat literary/archaic.

Etymology

Inspirited comes from the same root as inspire and spirit, built from Latin parts in- 'into' and spirare 'to breathe'. So being inspirited is like having new 'breath' or life put into you, which is why it means being filled with a strong spiritual or guiding force.
