The words respiration and inspiration have the same Latin root, spirare, which means "to breathe." The word conspire has the same Latin etymological root. But what does conspiring have to do with breathing? The source of this term is notion that people who conspire are thinking in harmony, so close that they even breathe together. This is part of a complete episode.
