the proof that even leaving leaves a mark on the air
means To use something up completely, to tire someone or something out entirely, or the spent gases and fumes that escape from an engine.
from From Latin 'exhaurire,' to draw out or drain off — built from 'ex-' (out) and 'haurire' (to draw, to scoop up, as one draws water from a well). The image is a vessel emptied entirely, scooped dry to the bottom. English took it in the 16th century, first meaning to drain or use up; the sense of fumes 'drawn out' of an engine is a much later mechanical cousin.
