Yes, to suspire is to utter a deep sigh. It’s all about breath, as are ‘inspire’ (to breathe life into an idea/person), ‘expire’ (breathe out), ‘perspire’ (to breathe through), ‘conspire’ (to breathe together), and ‘spirit’, because the ancients believed the spirit was breathed into the body.

This is kind of cool: Five years after a fire ripped through Paris’ Notre-Dame cathedral, the architects, stonemasons, archaeologists, art historians and others that helped rebuild it have started a choir and are preparing to perform in the building they helped save. www.nbcnews.com/news/europe/...

Choir formed from the ashes of the Notre-Dame cathedral helps mark reopening

Dozens of people who helped rebuild Paris’ historic Notre-Dame after it was devastated by a fire five years ago will gather next month to perform a song celebrating its reopening.

Lovely concert at Bolton Parish Church. BMS singers under @alexpattersonmusic.bsky.social sounding rich and sonorous. Corus Brass under Sam King were in fine form. A darned good Rutter Gloria to finish. Congratulations all.
