yawned
Opened mouth wide
Yawned is the past tense of yawn—to open the mouth wide and inhale deeply, usually from tiredness or boredom.
The action is involuntary and contagious: She yawned, and soon everyone in the room was yawning.
Figuratively, things that gape open may yawn: A chasm yawned before them.
