Root Explanation

Inspiritingly → It is formed from "in-" (meaning into or within), "spirit" (from Latin "spiritus", meaning breath or spirit), and "-ingly" (a suffix used to form adverbs). The word means in a manner that brings spirit or enthusiasm into something.

Memory Tip

Think of bringing 'spirit' into something 'within' — that's why inspiritingly means doing something in a way that fills it with enthusiasm.
