breath
What lungs take
Breath is the air taken into and expelled from the lungs.
A single instance is also a breath: Take a deep breath.
By extension, breath suggests life itself—to draw breath is to be alive, and a dying breath is a final one.
Breath can mean a slight movement of air: not a breath of wind.
To hold your breath is to wait anxiously.
Something under your breath is spoken very quietly.
In the same breath means almost simultaneously, often of contradictory statements.
