Etymology of TRANSPIRE

The word "transpire" has its origins in Latin. It comes from the Latin word "transpirare", which is a combination of "trans" meaning "across" or "through", and "spirare" meaning "to breathe" or "to exhale". In the original Latin usage, "transpirare" meant "to exude" or "to evaporate through pores" and was generally used to describe the process of perspiration or the release of moisture through the skin. Over time, the word evolved and in English, "transpire" now generally means "to occur" or "to happen", often with a sense of something becoming known or revealed.
