ventilates
Lets air through
Ventilates means to allow fresh air to circulate through an enclosed space: The windows ventilate the attic.
Mechanical systems ventilate buildings by moving air.
Medical ventilators push air into patients' lungs.
Figuratively, to ventilate feelings or opinions is to express them openly, airing what might otherwise stay bottled up: She ventilated her frustrations at the meeting.
