Morphology
The meaning ‘a sacred or divine spirit’ is directly and compositionally derived from 'holy' (sacred/divine) + 'spirit' (an incorporeal being), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will grasp the basic sense. The specific theological role as the third person of the Trinity is specialized background knowledge, but the core referent is transparently recoverable and cross-linguistically parallel.
Etymology
The phrase Holy Spirit may come from Bible language where the word translated as spirit also meant 'breath' or 'wind', like God's breath giving life and power. So the image of God's living 'breath' or 'wind' helps explain why Holy Spirit means God's active presence that 'guides' and 'helps' people today.
