Latin has several words for "spirit", depending on how you are using the word. If you want to use the word spirit as a vital principal such as a life, you would use the word "anima". If using the word as meaning someone's character, "animus", "indoles" or "natura" would be appropriate. Using spirit in the sense of energy or animation, "spiritus" or even "animus" could be used. If used as an intention, such as "the spirit of the law" the words "consilium" or sententia" would be appropriate. Latin is a language that has many words that clarify or pinpoint the meaning of our single English words.
