sweat
Exertion's wet evidence
Sweat is the ordinary name for perspiration, the liquid secreted from pores to cool the body.
It is used emblematically to stand for heat and exertion, as in the expression blood, sweat, and tears.
If you say something is no sweat, you mean it is not a worry or problem.
A sweat is a time when perspiration is present.
To sweat is to produce sweat, or figuratively, to be deeply worried or nervous about something: I’m sweating the upcoming exam.
