the.com/soar
the art of going up without flapping, by stealing the sky's own muscle
means To fly or rise high through the air, often smoothly and effortlessly, or by extension to climb sharply (as prices, hopes, or temperatures might).
from From Old French 'essorer,' to fly up or expose to air, which traces back to a presumed Vulgar Latin 'exaurare' — built from Latin 'ex-' (out) and 'aura' (air, breeze). So at its root, to soar is to take to the air itself, a cousin of the same 'aura' that gives us our atmosphere and our auras.
