英文詞源

breath: breath: [OE] Breath comes ultimately from the Indo-European base *bhrē- ‘burn, heat’ (source also of braise, breed, brood, and probably brawn), and in its original Indo-European form *bhrētos appears to have meant something like the ‘steam, vapour, etc given off by something burning or cooking’. When it reached Old English, via Germanic *br?thaz, it still meant ‘smell’ or ‘exhalation’, and it was not in fact until as late as the 14th century that this notion of ‘exhalation’ came to be applied to human or animal respiration (the main Old English word for ‘breath’ had been ?thm, which German still has in the form atem).

The verb breathe is 13thcentury.
=> braise, brawn, breed, brood
breath (n.): Old English br?e "odor, scent, stink, exhalation, vapor" (Old English word for "air exhaled from the lungs" was ?em), from Proto-Germanic *br?thaz "smell, exhalation" (cognates: Old High German bradam, German Brodem "breath, steam"), from PIE root *gwhre- "to breathe, smell."
