air
What lungs need
Air has meanings that may seem unrelated, but that come together under the original meaning of breath.
There is the air that we breathe and an air that someone sings (a tune or melody that requires breath).
An air of mystery may surround someone, just like air surrounds us all.
To air something is to expose it to fresh air; to air grievances or opinions is to expose them to others.
