Etymology
Spirits comes from the Latin word spiritus, meaning 'breath' or 'life', and is the same root as inspire. Long ago, people who heated wine to make a stronger drink thought the strong 'breath' or essence that came off it was its 'spirit', so spirits became the name for strong alcoholic drinks.
