Inspiration originates from the Latin inspiratus, the past participle of inspirare, which means "to breathe into" or "to blow into". The term combines in- ("into") and spirare ("to breathe"). It carries a historical, theological meaning of a divine influence or spirit being breathed into a person, predating its modern, creative, or psychological definition. The concept implies that creative or emotional energy is breathed into someone, similar to the biblical account of life being breathed into the first human.
In Middle English, the word was used directly in the sense of ‘divine guidance’.
