Breathing
The term breathing has a fascinating history in language and communication. Its linguistic evolution began with Proto-Indo-European, the hypothetical common ancestor of the Indo-European languages, including English. In its earliest form, it was recorded as a verb meaning to puff or blow, and it was used to describe both inhalation and exhalation. Over time, the verb developed in both morphological and pragmatic directions. On the morphological front, it underwent semantic widening to encompass the broader notion of respirating, an abstracted sense of the action that emphasizes the ongoing and cyclic nature of breathing. Pragmatically, the term began to be used as a noun, in sentences such as his breathing was labored. This demonstrates how the term has become an established part of everyday language, a sign that its semantic range has been successfully extended from the original, physical verb.

Breathing
Breathing is a visual technique used in anime, comics and manga to depict an action or verb. In this method, the artist uses the application of light and dark shades to give the impression of the character inhaling and exhaling. Visual cues are employed to create the sense of movement, such as the use of brightening and fading of the image, or the waves of the character's clothing or hair. Additionally, sound effects, animation and special effects can be used to create a more realistic effect. In traditional media, artists often use a combination of hatching and shading techniques to demonstrate the breath of a character.
