Etymology

The word 'breathe' comes from Old English 'brฤ“รฐan,' which means 'to breathe' or 'to blow.' The term has Germanic roots, closely related to the Old Norse 'breda' and the German 'breaten.' Over time, the word evolved through various forms and influences, establishing itself in Middle English as 'brethe' before settling into its modern form. The past tense 'breathed' developed from the regular conjugation patterns in English, reflecting how many verbs transitioned from their Old and Middle English forms to contemporary usage. The concept of breathing is fundamental to life, and this word has retained its relevance throughout the ages as a vital physiological process.
