A friend of mine is greatly into breathing exercises and regimens. I was telling her about this site and she asked me to ask you to share what you know, or can find, on the word 'inspiration', in all senses. So perhaps one of you with the OED can begin and you others who are fond of arcane references can jump in and I'll pass along what you all post. Of course, I know, and told her, that it comes from spiritus and geve her what I know about that, but it doesn't really amount to much. I imagine we also need to know about the significations of the Latin.
