Breathed wearily (6)
I believe the answer is:
sighed
'breathed wearily' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for sighed that I've seen before include "Expressed impatience, longing" , "Expressed wordless sorrow" , "He digs ( anag.)" , "Gave dejected sound" , "Took a deep audible breath" .)
