Word origin
The word 'transpire' originated in the early 18th century from the Latin word 'transpirare', which means 'to breathe across'. Initially, it was used in a physiological sense to refer to the passage of water through a plant's tissues. Over time, the meaning evolved to include the broader sense of something happening or becoming known. Today, 'transpire' is commonly used in English to describe events or information coming to light.
