Transpire \Tran*spire"\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Transpired}; p.
   pr. & vb. n. {Transpiring}.] [F. transpirer; L. trans across,
   through + spirare to breathe. See {Spirit}.]
   1. (Physiol.) To pass off in the form of vapor or insensible
      perspiration; to exhale.

   2. (Bot.) To evaporate from living cells.

   3. To escape from secrecy; to become public; as, the

            The story of Paulina's and Maximilian's mutual
            attachment had transpired through many of the
            travelers.                            --De Quincey.

   4. To happen or come to pass; to occur.

   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.
