Etymology
Spiritedly comes from the word spirit, which comes from a Latin root meaning 'breath' or 'life'. So, to act spiritedly is like moving with strong 'breath' and energy — just like inspire means to 'breathe' life into an idea, and that's why spiritedly means 'in a lively, energetic, or enthusiastic manner'.
