Morphology
vital = vit + al
The sense 'full of life/energy' ultimately comes from the Latin root for 'life', but because 'vit' is not an English base word, the composition is not transparently analyzable by typical learners.
Etymology
Vital also means full of life and energy and comes from the same root vita 'life'; you can see the same idea in vitality, so a vital person or place feels lively and energetic.
