sweating
発汗
解説 Definition
sweating は sweat（汗をかく）の現在分詞・動名詞で、名詞として「発汗」という意味です。暑さ、運動、緊張、体調などによって汗が出ることを表します。
Sweating is the process of producing and releasing sweat through the skin, commonly in response to heat, physical activity, stress, illness, or other bodily conditions. It helps regulate body temperature by allowing moisture to evaporate.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 sweat「汗をかく」に -ing をそのまま付けた形で、名詞用法では「発汗」。sweat /swet/ に /ɪŋ/ が続き、sweating は /ˈswetɪŋ/ と発音する。heavy sweating「激しい発汗」、sweating during exercise「運動中の発汗」のように、暑さ・運動・発熱で体が冷えようとする場面と結びつける。
Link sweating to the base verb sweat and add -ing without any spelling change. Sweat is pronounced /swet/, and sweating is /ˈswetɪŋ/. As a noun, it names the bodily process rather than a single drop of sweat. Picture exercise or hot weather: the body releases moisture through the skin, and evaporation helps it cool down. Learn common combinations such as heavy sweating, excessive sweating, night sweating, and sweating during exercise. This makes it easier to distinguish sweating, the process, from sweat, the liquid or the base verb, and sweaty, an adjective describing a person or thing covered in sweat.

sweating の語源・成り立ち Etymology
語源は古英語 swāt「汗」や swǣtan「汗をかく」にさかのぼり、さらにゲルマン系の古い語根につながります。sweat に -ing が付いて「汗をかくこと」「発汗」という動作名詞になった形です。関連語は sweaty, sweater です。
Sweating is formed from sweat plus -ing. Sweat comes from Old English swāt, the noun for perspiration, and swǣtan, meaning “to perspire,” with related forms elsewhere in the Germanic languages. Adding -ing creates a present participle or a gerund. In the noun use shown here, sweating refers to the process or occurrence of perspiring, especially because of heat, exercise, stress, or illness.
