Definitions and meaning of transpire

transpire

Etymology

Borrowed from Middle French transpirer, from Medieval Latin transpirare (“to breathe through”), from Latin trans (“across”) spirare (“to breathe”). The sense “to become known” is also present in French, while the sense “to happen” is not; the latter probably developed in English from the former.

Pronunciation

  • (UK) IPA(key): /tɹænˈspaɪ̯ə(ɹ)/
  • (US) IPA(key): /tɹænˈspaɪ̯ɚ/
  • Rhymes: -aɪə(ɹ)

Verb

transpire (third-person singular simple present transpires, present participle transpiring, simple past and past participle transpired)

  1. (transitive, intransitive) To give off (vapour, waste matter etc.); to exhale (an odour etc.). [from 16th c.]
  2. (obsolete, intransitive) To perspire. [17th–19th c.]
    Synonym: sweat
  3. (botany, intransitive) Of plants, to give off water and waste products through the stomata. [from 17th c.]
  4. (intransitive) To become known; to escape from secrecy. [from 18th c.]
    Synonym: come to light
  5. (loosely, intransitive) To happen, take place. [from 18th c.]
    Synonyms: come about, come to pass, occur; see also Thesaurus:happen

Usage notes

The meaning happen, occur possibly arose from a misinterpretation of the word's use in the meaning become known, figuratively drawn from the original exude (vapour, etc.). Claiming it to be wrong and affected, certain critics discourage use in this sense. Meanwhile, it is traceable to the 18th and has been common since the 19th century.
