Etymology
The word 'spiritual' originated from the Latin word 'spiritualis', meaning 'of breathing, of wind, or of spirit'. The term was first used in the 14th century to describe things pertaining to the spirit or soul. Over time, it evolved to encompass a broader sense of connection to something beyond the physical realm, including religious beliefs and practices.
