aerate
Infuse with gas
To aerate is to introduce air into something.
You aerate soil by turning it, aerate water by agitating it, aerate wine by letting it breathe.
The goal is usually to improve quality or promote a process—aerated soil drains better, aerated wine releases its flavors.
The fountain aerates the pond to keep the fish healthy.
