Brio, élan (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

verve

I believe this is a double definition.

'brio' is the first definition.
(I know that verve is a type of energy)

'elan' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for verve that I've seen before include "Dashing enthusiasm" , "Sparkling enthusiasm" , "Animation" , "Great liveliness or enthusiasm" , "Root tasting of oysters" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
