Morphology
expire = ex + spir
Although historically analyzable as Latin ex- + spir- ('breathe out'), the element 'spir' does not appear as a productive standalone English base, so learners cannot reliably derive 'to cease to be valid' from the parts.
Etymology
The word expire comes from Latin ex- 'out' and spirare 'to breathe'. So when a license or visa 'breathes out' its time, it comes to an end and stops being valid.
