'spirited' originates from the word 'spirit,' which comes from Latin 'spiritus,' meaning 'breath' or 'soul.'

'spiritus' transformed into the Old French word 'espirit,' and eventually became the modern English word 'spirit,' from which 'spirited' is derived.

Initially, it meant 'having a soul or breath,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'full of energy and enthusiasm.'
