noun the process of the sweat glands of the skin secreting a salty fluid
originBorrowed from Late Latin diaphorēsis, from Ancient Greek δῐᾰφόρησῐς (dĭăphórēsĭs, “evaporation, dissipation, perspiration”); by surface analysis, dia- (“through, across”) + -phoresis (“transmission”); also synchronically held to end in the suffix -esis.
