sprite
A sprite is an elf or a fairy, an Middle English warp of the word spirit. The word has also come to refer to flashes of red light in the atmosphere during thunderstorms as electrons clash with other high-energy molecules. This is related to spright, an alternative spelling. Someone who is described as sprightly is spirited, vivacious and cheerful lightness about them. I find March to be quite sprightly, delightfully so after another (inevitably) gray February.
