Note
Only the countable meanings of breath take this plural: single acts of breathing in or out, pauses or rests, and small amounts, as in breaths of wind. The act of breathing and the air it expels stay uncountable, so a cold morning shows your breath, not your breaths. An obsolete plural once meant scents or perfumes, though that use has long faded.
