The spirit definition is pretty obscure, and they wouldn't likely use it in a scientific endeavor to replicatte the soul. In our world its obscure, but on Remnant, it has a quantifiable, easily measured quality known as Aura, thier definition must clearly be slightly different, "breath" in this context is "the breath of life" on Remnant, everything that is "alive" if you don't quallify the creatures of Grimm as "alive" has an aura, that with its other properties could lead to early scientists and philosophers of remnant to define Aura as "the breath of life" and develop terminalogy that is reflective of that, regardless of its acuracy once a term is generally accepted in the scientific comunity, it tends to stick, similarily we know that electrons travel form the negative end of the battery to the positive, however the convention in circuit building is the reverse, because we originally thought the oposite.
