Exhales

/ɛksˈheɪlz/ verb

Definition

Breathes out, releasing air from the lungs through the nose or mouth.

Etymology

From Latin 'exhalare,' combining 'ex-' (out) and 'halare' (to breathe), literally meaning 'to breathe out.'

Kelly Says

When you exhale, you're actually releasing more than just stale air—you're expelling carbon dioxide, water vapor, and thousands of bacteria, which is why your breath can smell and spread germs.
