Here is one definition
Zeit·geist (tstgst, zt-)
n.
The spirit of the time; the taste and outlook characteristic of a period or generation:
"It's easy to see how a student . . . in the 1940's could imbibe such notions. The Zeitgeist encouraged Philosopher-Kings" James Atlas.
[German : Zeit, time (from Middle High German zt, from Old High German; see d- in Indo-European roots) + Geist, spirit; see poltergeist.]
