Definition of sweaty

sweatyadjective

mồ hôi

/ˈsweti//ˈsweti/

"Sweaty" comes from the Old English word "sweāt," meaning "sweat." This word itself likely derives from the Proto-Germanic word "sweitan," meaning "to sweat." Over time, "sweāt" evolved into "sweat" and then "sweaty," adding the "-y" suffix to denote a state of being or quality. This suffix is common in English, creating words like "sleepy," "dirty," and "hungry." So, "sweaty" simply describes something covered in or resembling sweat, highlighting the physical sensation of perspiration.
