Liveliness, from the French (6)

I believe the answer is:

esprit

(Other definitions for esprit that I've seen before include "French morale as in de corps?" , "Stripe (anag)" , "Vivacity - wit" , "... de corps, team spirit" , "Liveliness - priest (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
