Afflatus (noun)
Definition: a strong creative impulse; divine inspiration
Encountered from A Literary Visitor Strolls in From the Airport by Charles Mcgrath.
“Ah,” he said. “The afflatus of the city’s bowels — now we’re getting into the real body of the city.”
I understand this word because he was getting inspired by the city’s buildings.
Example: The afflatus of your idol’s work inspires you to work hard.
