perspire 的詞源
perspire(v.)
1640年代,指揮揮發性液體“通過毛孔蒸發”(不及物動詞),這是從 perspiration 中反推出來的,部分源自拉丁語 perspirare “不斷吹或呼吸”,源自 per “通過”(源自 PIE 詞根 *per-(1)“向前”,因此是“通過”)+ spirare “呼吸,吹氣”(參見 spirit(n.))。“出汗,通過皮膚毛孔排出水分”(不及物動詞)的含義是1725年的一種禮貌用法。醫生試圖保持“可感知”(汗水)和“不可感知”排汗之間的區別:
[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]
