Breathing out air from your lungs, releasing breath from your body.
From Latin 'exhalare', combining 'ex-' (out) and 'halare' (to breathe). The word literally means 'to breathe out' and has maintained this biological meaning since ancient times.
Every time you sigh, you're exhaling—and interestingly, humans are one of the few animals that can voluntarily control their exhaling, which is why we can speak, sing, and sigh on purpose. It's a superpower our respiratory system gives us.
