respiración
/respiɾaˈθjon/ · B1 · noun · f
breath
🫁 respiración = re + spirare: to breathe again and again, like respiration
From Latin respiratio, from re- (again) + spirare (to breathe). The same spir- root as inspire, expire and spirit. Spanish adds -ción where English has -tion, so it is a near twin of respiration.
