outbreathing
Expelling air slowly
Outbreathing is the act of breathing out or exhaling.
The word appears in literary or spiritual contexts more than medical ones: the outbreathing of the soul, a long outbreathing of relief.
It can also describe something that breathes forth or emanates: the outbreathing of fragrance from the garden.
