    Default An unknown word

    Please, could you tell me if there exists a word "prespire"? Because I saw it in one lyric but didnīt find it in a dictionary.
    Thank you very much

    It's either a typo for "perspire", or it's a word I haven't met before - possibly a neologism, meaning something like 'breathe before'.
