respiratorn.

Brit. /ˈrɛspᵻreɪtə/, U.S. /ˈrɛspəˌreɪdər/
Forms: 1500s respirature (Scottish), 1700s– respirator.

Compare French respirateur (1786 or earlier), German Respirator (1787 or earlier), both earliest denoting devices intended to provide protection from noxious gases.It is possible that Older Scots respirature (see sense 1) could instead show a distinct formation in -ure suffix1.
