The word "vitality" comes from Latin, where it means "life" or "vital force."  The Latin root is "vita," meaning "life," and from this, the term "vitalis" meaning "of or pertaining to life" evolved. The English word "vitality" emerged in the late 1500s, borrowed from Middle French "vitalité," which itself came from the Latin "vitalitas". 

The earliest known use of the word "vitality" in English from  in English is from the late 1500s, specifically around 1592 in Tragedye of Solyman & Perseda. 

Examples of "vitality" in a sentence:  
"Surrogates for the human, the objects are haunted by the vitality of a former presence." 
"The same electric vitality visible around the slough was charging life in the water, too." 
"Nature is to be cared for, valued and respected in its protean variety and vitality." 
"The vitality of a language indicates how well a group is maintaining itself in society." 
"Junk foods decrease total body vitality in both immediate strength and endurance." 
"The energy and vitality of his singing and dancing lighten things up considerably."
"This is a healthy eating plan that will improve vitality and general health."
"She had so much energy and vitality with a love for theatre and acting."
"Mars brings an edge of energy and vitality."
"She had so much vitality and energy."

We're likely among the few who know what Geritol is without doing a search.

How could we forget, since they advertised on TV shows like What's My Line, To Tell the Truth, Twenty-One, Ted Mack's Amateur Hour, the original Star Trek series, The Red Skelton Show, The Lawrence Welk Show, and Hee Haw.
