Takes a breath (7)
I believe the answer is:
inhales
'takes a breath' is the definition.
(inhaling is a kind of taking a breath)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for inhales that I've seen before include "Breathes in" , "Takes into the lungs" , "shows sign of life!" .)
I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
