词汇 perspire
词源

perspire (v.)

1640年代,指挥挥发性液体“通过毛孔蒸发”(不及物动词),这是从 perspiration 中反推出来的,部分源自拉丁语 perspirare “不断吹或呼吸”,源自 per “通过”(源自 PIE 词根 *per-(1)“向前”,因此是“通过”)+ spirare “呼吸,吹气”(参见 spirit(n.))。“出汗,通过皮肤毛孔排出水分”(不及物动词)的含义是1725年的一种礼貌用法。医生试图保持“可感知”(汗水)和“不可感知”排汗之间的区别:

[I]t is sufficient for common use to observe, that perspiration is that insensible discharge of vapour from the whole surface of the body and the lungs which is constantly going on in a healthy state; that it is always natural and always salutary; that sweat, on the contrary, is an evacuation, which never appears without some uncommon effort, or some disease to the system, that it weakens and relaxes, and is so far from coinciding with perspiration, that it obstructs and checks it. [Charles White, "A Treatise on the Management of Pregnant and Lying-in Women," London, 1791]
