To breathe into something; to infuse with breath or life, often used poetically or metaphorically.
From 'em-' (to put into) combined with 'breathe,' from Old English 'bræthan.' The concept of breathing life or spirit into something has ancient roots in creation mythology.
The idea of 'embreathing' appears in countless creation myths—from God breathing life into Adam to Prometheus animating clay—because breathing was how ancient people understood the spark of life itself.
