Update #1 with help from abwatt:
[sic]
- relictum — from the word relictus, abandoned or widowed.
- spiritum — accusative form of spiritus, either spirit or soul or breath.
- expurgationis — looks like the genitive singular case of the noun meaning a cleanse/purification/vindication/excuse.
So… “of the purification/excusing/cleansing of a widowed/abandoned spirit”.
(For more information on how a rough English version of such a spell might be structured, see abwatt‘s post here.)
