quick and lively; moving or happening at a fast pace; fresh and invigorating (as with air).
From Scandinavian origins (Old Norse 'briskr'), possibly related to 'break,' suggesting quick, sharp movements; entered English around the 16th century.
A 'brisk walk' and 'brisk air' seem like different meanings, but both describe that snappy, energizing quality—the word captures the feeling of being alive and awake.
