In English, in Spanish, and probably in most? languages, many words have a variety of meanings--sometimes some of them are vaguely related, sometimes totally different. It would help if you told us where you saw the word "spirit." Here are some of the commonest meanings. Some of them are distantly related to the root meaning "breath," as in "respire." Breath is something transparent, necessary to life itself, that comes from deep inside. 1) Personal energy, verve, something that makes you want to dance. "At the football game, the crowd was full of school spirit." "Be careful riding this horse, she's very spirited." "Go, go, go! Yes! THAT'S the spirit!" 2) A supernatural being, a ghost. "The house is haunted by an evil spirit." "He's a medium and talks to the spirits of the dead." 3) Alcohol, and distilled beverages containing alcohol like brandy and whiskey. "This store sells wine and spirits." "One kind of thermometer is a thin tube filled with red-dyed spirit." 4) The deep or essential nature of something, the godlike essence of something. "The Dalai Lama is a spiritual leader."

There's no such a thing as an exact meaning, because all words have more than one meaning it depends on the context. i need a book I wanna book a flight exact meaning? bye hope this helps. or you mean as a noun? as a noun a spirit is a ghost.

To me, spirit can mean two things: either alcohol above 40%, or a ghost/the soul of a departed person still residing on earth.
