Perspire vs. Sweat

Key Differences

Perspire is a term often used in a more formal or medical context to describe the secretion of fluids by the body's sweat glands. It's a process associated with body temperature regulation. On the other hand, sweat is the common, everyday term used to refer to the same bodily function. It is the moisture that results from perspiring and is composed of water, salts, and other substances.

In cultural and social contexts, to perspire is often perceived as more genteel or less crude than to sweat. Saying someone is perspiring might be preferred in polite society, whereas sweat is a straightforward, unembellished term. For instance, in formal writing or speech, perspire might be chosen over sweat to maintain a certain level of decorum.
