connection to the spirit
Etymology
'spirituality' originates from Middle English, specifically the word 'spiritualite,' which came from Old French 'spiritualité,' derived from Late Latin 'spiritualitas,' where 'spiritus' meant 'breath' or 'spirit.'
'spiritualite' transformed into the modern English word 'spirituality' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'the clergy or ecclesiastical property,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the quality of being spiritual.'
