inspirit
Fill with boldness
To inspirit is to infuse with spirit or courage—to enliven, animate, or embolden.
The word is somewhat literary: The coach's halftime speech inspirited the team.
Unlike inspire, which emphasizes ideas or creative motivation, inspirit suggests breathing life or energy into someone who is flagging or dispirited.
