Blowing is one English equivalent of the Latin root 'spir-'. Breathing is another English equivalent. From the Latin root comes the Latin adjective 'spirabilis', which means 'that may be breathed' or 'able to breathe'. From it also come the Latin nouns 'spiraculum', 'spiramen', and 'spiramentum', which mean 'air hole'. Additionally, from it come the Latin noun 'spiritus', for 'breath, breathing, breeze'; and the Latin verb 'spiro spirare' for 'to blow, to breathe'.
