breathing

the bodily process of inhalation and exhalation; the process of taking in oxygen from inhaled air and releasing carbon dioxide by exhalation

passing or able to pass air in and out of the lungs normally; sometimes used in combination

the boy was disappointed to find only skeletons instead of living breathing dinosaurs

draw air into, and expel out of, the lungs

I can breathe better when the air is clean

be alive

Every creature that breathes

impart as if by breathing

He breathed new life into the old house
