Definition
the act of breathing air or smoke into the lungs, or a substance designed to be breathed in for medical purposes.
Etymology
From Latin 'inhalare,' combining 'in-' (into) and 'halare' (to breathe). The '-tion' suffix creates the noun form.
Kelly Says
Doctors use 'inhalation' therapy to deliver medicine directly to the lungs, which is often more effective than pills because it reaches the target organ faster! Your lungs absorb oxygen in about 0.3 seconds during inhalation—that's why astronauts practice breathing techniques.
