Inspirierter

Inspirierter is a German adjective form derived from the verb inspirieren, which means to inspire. The word is used to describe people, works, or moments that are filled with inspiration or creative energy. In everyday use it often characterizes speakers, artists, or ideas as being motivated by inspiration, imagination, or emotional drive. The sense can range from simply being inspired to being exceptionally inspired in a given moment.

Etymology and meaningfully related terms trace back to the Latin inspirare, “to breathe into,” via the German verb inspirieren. The broad sense of giving someone or something artistic or spiritual motive has been preserved in modern usage, including both secular and religious contexts. In religious or literary discussions, phrases like primarily “inspirierter Text” or “inspirierte Schrift” are used to denote writings believed to be endowed with divine or heightened human influence.

Common usage includes attributive phrases such as ein inspirierter Redner (an inspired speaker), inspirierte Kunst (inspired art), and inspirierte Musik (inspired music). The word can also appear as a noun in nominalized form, Der Inspirierte or Die Inspirierte, referring to a person who is inspired.

Relation to related terms: Inspiration denotes the general concept; inspirieren is the verb; inspiriert is the past participle form used in some compounds, while inspira­tional or inspiriert can appear in different syntactic positions.
