Enthusiasm; liveliness (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

verve

This clue is a double definition.

'enthusiasm' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'liveliness' is the second definition.
(I know that verve is a type of energy)

(Other definitions for verve that I've seen before include "Animation" , "Zest and exuberance" , "Dashing enthusiasm" , "Great liveliness or enthusiasm" , "Sparkle" .)

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