Hi guys!

Yesterday i heard in Baba(alanis song) this phrase: ''I've seen kneel with baited breath  for the ritual''

I couldn't understand the expression "Baited breath".As i know "bait" means "isca" or "dog attack"

Maybe "baited breath" could  mean "ofegante" "de lingua de fora", don't know

Does anyone help me????

Thanks in advance!! sorry about grammar but i'm learning !
