The Chinese character 息 (xī) has multiple meanings and can be used in different contexts. Its primary meanings include "to rest," "to cease," "breath," and "interest." It can also refer to offspring in a more literary sense.
On the other hand, 呼吸 (hūxī) specifically means "to breathe." This term is made up of two characters: 呼 (hū) means "to call" or "to exhale," and 吸 (xī) means "to inhale." Thus, 呼吸 (hūxī) directly relates to the physiological process of breathing, which involves both inhaling and exhaling air.
While both 息 (xī) and 呼吸 (hūxī) are related to the concept of breath, 息 (xī) has a broader range of meanings beyond just breathing. For example, in terms of finance, 息 (xī) can refer to "interest" like in 利息 (lìxī), meaning "interest" on a loan. In contrast, 呼吸 (hūxī) is strictly used in the context of breathing and physiological functions.
