Spelt is a crude grain used for breads. It may have originated either in a region equivalent to present day Iran or in part of south eastern Europe. Like einkorn and emmer, spelt is characterized as a "covered wheat" , since the kernels do not thresh free of the glumes or the lemma and palea when harvested. The spelt spikelets contain two well developed kernels. When husked it shows a long, grey grain like a cross between rice and barley. During the Bronze Age (ca. 4,000-1,000 BC), spelt was distributed from the Near East through the Balkans, Europe and Transcaucasia. References to spelt are found in the Bible (Exodus 9:30, Isaiah 28:25, and Ezekiel 4:9) and spelt is thought to have been handed to Roman citizens in 59 BC after food riots as part of the creation of a welfare system. Spelt production continues to be a major cereal crop in isolated regions throughout south eastern Europe, primarily in Germany and Switzerland.

Okay. What exactly is a spice? I wish I knew. I’ll have a go. In general I would say that they are dried parts of plants. This may mean leaves, roots, bark, fruits or pods - anything that grows - even the dried juices. Some plants provide herbs and spices from different parts of the plant, like coriander (US: cilantro). On the whole I would say that a spice is a dried part of a plant which flavours food. But you can shoot me down in flames if you like. I don't feel strongly.
The spider crab is a crab with little meat but what it has is particularly well-flavoured. It has a large, oval spiked body and long, thin spidery legs, hence its name.
