diaphoresis

The origin and history of diaphoresis.

Etymology

Borrowed from Late Latin diaphorēsis, from Ancient Greek δῐᾰφόρησῐς (dĭăphórēsĭs, "evaporation, dissipation, perspiration"). On the surface it appears to split into dia- ("through, across") and -phoresis ("transmission"), though it is also synchronically taken to end in the suffix -esis.
