I believe the answer is:
alive
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">still breathing</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for alive that I've seen before include "Animated, on the ball" , "surviving" , "Quick - breathing" , "Animate, breathing" , "Not yet pushing up the daisies" .)
