Full of breath or containing a noticeable amount of breath in one's voice; characterized by breathing quality.
From 'breath' (Old English braeth, exhalation) plus '-ful' (Old English full, meaning full of). A rare poetic term that never achieved common usage in modern English.
Poets and singers use 'breathful' to describe the intimate vocal quality in whispery singing—like when a performer's breathing becomes intentionally audible, creating emotional closeness with listeners!
