Etymology
From Middle English Holi Gost, from Old English Hāliġ Gāst, a calque of Latin Spīritus Sānctus, which in turn is a calque of Ancient Greek Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον (Pneûma tò Hágion), from πνεῦμα (pneûma, “breath, vital force, soul”) + ἅγιος (hágios, “holy”)), a calque of Hebrew רוּחַ הָקֹדֶשׁ (rûaḥ hā-qōḏeš), from רוּחַ (rûaḥ, “wind, breath, spirit”) + קֹדֶשׁ (qōḏeš, “holiness”), from earlier רוּחַ יְהֹוָה/יַהְוֶה (rûaḥ Yəhōwā/Yahəweh, “wind of Jehovah/Yahweh”).
