Etymology
Suspine is the plural of suspin, a sigh. The noun comes from the Romanian verb a suspina, which descends from Latin suspirare, built from sub- ('from below, up') and spirare ('to breathe'). The same Latin verb gave rise to sighing words across the Romance family, though each language shaped its own noun for the result.
