The English word spirit comes from
the Latin spiritus , meaning "breath ",
but also "spirit, soul, courage, vigor",
ultimately from a Proto-Indo-
European *(s)peis . It is
distinguished from Latin anima,
"soul " (which nonetheless also
derives from an Indo-European root
meaning "to breathe", earliest form
*h 2 enh1 - [2] ). In Greek, this
distinction exists between pneuma
(πνευμα), "breath, motile air, spirit,"

The notions of a person's spirit and soul often also overlap, as both contrast with body and both are understood as surviving the bodily death in religion and occultism, [1] and "spirit" can also have the sense of " ghost", i.e. a manifestation of the spirit of a deceased person.
