Etymology

The word 'nonspiritual' is a compound term derived from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not', and the word 'spiritual', which originates from the Latin 'spiritus', meaning 'breath' or 'spirit'. The usage of 'spiritual' in the context of life, religion, and philosophy can be traced back to early human societies that began to explore concepts of existence beyond the material. As empirical sciences grew essential in understanding the physical world, there emerged a contrasting viewpoint that focused on the material aspects of life, thus giving rise to nonspiritual interpretations. Over time, as secularism grew in various cultures, the term became more common in academic and casual discussions to describe a worldview that prioritizes physical reality over spiritual or religious considerations.
