    Both words share the Latin base for “to breathe”, spirare, which is also where we get expire, aspire, conspire, and even spirit

    And, presumably, ‘respire’/‘respiration’?

      Yup! Spirare is the Latin root of a lot of words, most likely due to how pneuma was believed to be the human soul. Breath and soul were one and the same, so it shows up in a lot of places.
