exhaling
Letting air out
Exhaling is the act of breathing out—expelling air from the lungs.
The word often emphasizes the deliberate or noticeable quality of the breath: She stood exhaling slowly, watching her breath cloud in the cold air.
One exhales cigarette smoke, sighs of relief, or tension held too long.
