Spirit of optimism (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

morale

(Other definitions for morale that I've seen before include "Feeling of well-being" , "State of a group's confidence and spirit" , "The spirit of a group or individual" , "Degree of optimism (of troops, perhaps)" , "Strength of purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
