What does EXHALE mean?
EXHALE (verb): to breathe out. Example: “She closed her eyes and exhaled slowly before stepping onstage.”
Similar: breathe out, expel, puff. Opposite: inhale, breathe in.
Did you know? "Exhale" and "inhale" both come from the Latin "halare," meaning "to breathe," paired with opposite prefixes meaning "out" and "in."
Using EXHALE in a sentence
EXHALE can stand alone or take an object: you exhale slowly, or exhale a cloud of breath on a cold morning. Yoga and meditation teachers lean on it constantly, pairing it with inhale in instructions like 'inhale as you lift your arms, exhale as you fold forward'. The formal noun is exhalation, though 'a long exhale' is common in everyday speech. Figuratively, exhaling means finally relaxing after a stretch of tension, the idea behind the title of Terry McMillan's novel Waiting to Exhale, later a 1995 film.
