Transpire \Tran*spire"\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Transpired}; p.

   through + spirare to breathe. See {Spirit}.]

   Note: This sense of the word, which is of comparatively
         recent introduction, is common in the United States,
         especially in the language of conversation and of
         newspaper writers, and is used to some extent in
         England. Its use, however, is censured by critics of
         both countries.
