Animate — breathe in (7)
I believe the answer is:
inspire
I believe this is a double definition.
'animate' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'breathe in' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for inspire that I've seen before include "Fill with creativity" , "Fill with confidence - be the origin of" , "Influence" , "move!" , "Breathe in and infuse into the mind" .)
