How the clue works
Look at energy at the end — that's your definition. Start with inspires, which gives you ANIMATES, then dispelling onset of ennui means you drop the first letter of "ennui", which is E, leaving you ANIMATS. Finally, rising tells you to reverse it, and ANIMATS backwards gives you your answer.
