Word origin
The word 'exhalation' originated from the Latin word 'exhalare', which means 'to breathe out'. It has been used in English since the 15th century to describe the process of breathing out air or releasing gases. Over time, the term has come to be associated with both the biological act of exhaling and the emission of gases or fumes from various sources.
