Explanation
Breath is the air that you take into your lungs when you breathe in, or the air you send out when you breathe out. Without breathing, you cannot live. Breath is usually not visible, but in cold weather, you might see it as a mist. The word is often used in expressions like “out of breath” (tired from exercise).
