schvitz
Perspire from heat
Schvitz is Yiddish-American slang meaning to sweat, especially heavily: I was schvitzing through my shirt by noon.
As a noun, a schvitz is a steam bath or sauna—a place where sweating is the point.
The word carries an informal, often humorous tone: Let's hit the schvitz after the gym.
