Characteristic spirit of the age (9)

I believe the answer is:

zeitgeist

(Other definitions for zeitgeist that I've seen before include "The current mood" , "Spirit of a generation" , "Spirit of the moment" , "Feeling for a time" , "The spirit of the times, from German" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
