respire
- v breathe easily again, as after exertion or anxiety
- v undergo the biomedical and metabolic processes of respiration by taking up oxygen and producing carbon monoxide
- v draw air into, and expel out of, the lungs
- They respire through their throat opening.
- A plunging neckline is enough to start a riot in Rome, and this truth is not lost upon movie queens who respire to greater things.
