ispirati

Ispirati is the masculine plural past participle of the Italian verb ispirare, used as an adjective meaning "inspired." It describes people, works, or ideas that have received inspiration. The feminine forms are ispirata (singular) and ispirate (plural); the masculine singular ispirato. In Italian, ispirati agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies, as in artisti ispirati or opere ispirate.

Etymology: The term derives from Latin inspirare "to breathe into," formed from in- "into" and spirare "to breathe." Over time, the sense shifted from a literal breath to the figurative act of receiving or channeling ideas, energy, or motivation. The same root yields the English word inspire.

Usage: Ispirati is used to characterize sources of creativity or motivation. Examples: "Gli autori ispirati hanno scritto un romanzo intenso." "Una performance ispirata ha commosso il pubblico." In general, it conveys a positive sense of influence or imaginative drive rather than mere technical skill.

Cultural note: As a standard Italian adjective, ispirati is common in literary and media contexts to describe people or works. It is not a widely recognized proper noun by itself; if encountered as a brand name or title, its meaning would depend on the specific branding or context rather than a fixed definition.
