'globally-inspired' is a modern English compound formed from the adverb 'globally' and the past-participial adjective 'inspired'. 'Global' originates from French/Latin, specifically from Latin 'globus', where 'globus' meant 'sphere' and gave rise to English 'global'; the adverbial suffix '-ly' turns 'global' into 'globally'. 'Inspired' originates from Latin 'inspirare', where the prefix 'in-' meant 'into' and 'spirare' meant 'to breathe'.

'global' came into English via French and Latin (from Latin 'globus') in later centuries and became 'global'; 'inspirare' passed into English via Old French/Latin and Middle English as forms like 'inspiren' and eventually 'inspire' and its participle 'inspired'. The compound adjective 'globally-inspired' is a modern English formation (20th–21st century) combining these elements to describe cross-border influences.

Each component originally had a more concrete sense ('globus' = 'sphere', 'inspirare' = 'to breathe into'); over time these stayed lexicalized as 'global' (relating to the whole world) and 'inspired' (influenced or stimulated). The compound's meaning evolved to 'influenced by worldwide sources' rather than any literal breathing or spherical sense.
