in reply to a message by Yohon
Not clear what you mean. More symbolic than what? What word origin are you working with? Please clarify.
It is also not clear what it means to walk in a spiritual light. Can you explain?

I think he or she means some kind of folk etymology, based on the two common Spanish words that you can see in "Andalucia" if you like to do so: "andar" (walk) and "luz" (light).
Just slip a "spiritual" in there for good measure, and presto: "Walk into spiritual light".

I fear you're right! Whatever it is, it isn't etymology.

It might be Arabic or Gothic...

...but at least it's not Spanish from the beginning.
