From the word’s history
From Middle English expiracioun 'vapor, breath', from Latin expīrātiō; expire + -ation.
源自拉丁文 expīrātiō「呼氣」，就是 expire 加上 -ation。
One way to hold it: the moment a fixed stretch of time runs out. Up to that point the lease, the membership, the yoghurt is fine; after it, the arrangement simply stops holding. The word names either that ending, or the date printed on the packet that tells you when it comes.
