Charisma<\/strong>: charm or personal magnetism (from the Greek word meaning \u201cfavor\u201d)
\nChutzpah<\/strong>: admirable or excessive self-confidence; this word and ginger<\/em> are the only ones on this list that have both positive and negative connotations (from Hebrew by way of Yiddish; several other spellings are used, but this one is the most common)
\n\u00c9lan<\/strong>: enthusiasm
\nEsprit<\/strong>: vivacious wit (French, from the Latin term spiritus<\/em>, \u201cspirit\u201d)

\nKnack<\/strong>: intuitive capacity or knowledge (originally meant \u201ctrick\u201d; perhaps from the onomatopoeic word akin to knock<\/em>)
\nMettle<\/strong>: vigor, stamina (from an alternate spelling of metal<\/em>)
\nMoxie<\/strong>: energy, enthusiasm, courage (from the brand name of a soft drink; early on, such beverages were often touted, long before the advent of energy drinks, as providing pep)
