espiritual
/espiɾiˈtwal/ · B1 · adj
spiritual
🕊️ espiritual = espíritu (spirit) + -al, same Latin root as English spiritual
From Latin spiritus, breath, and spirare, to breathe. Spanish espíritu is spirit, and adding -al turns it into an adjective, just like English spirit-ual. Spanish adds an e- before s plus a consonant, as in estudiar and escuela.
