Etymology
Respirație entered Romanian through French respiration, part of the wave of Latinate vocabulary that reshaped Romanian in the 19th century. Both trace back to Latin respiratio, a noun built on the verb respirare, meaning to breathe again or to breathe out. Respirare itself joins the prefix re- to spirare, to breathe or blow.
