sweater
Cozy wool garment
A sweater is a knitted garment covering the torso and arms, typically pulled over the head.
Sweaters provide warmth and range from casual to dressy: a cable-knit sweater, a cashmere sweater.
In British English, the same garment is often called a jumper.
A cardigan is a sweater that opens in the front.
To sweat something out is unrelated—a sweater in that sense is someone who sweats.
