Etymology of PHOSPHORESCENT SWEATING
The term "phosphorescent sweating" seems to be a combination of two distinct words: "phosphorescent" and "sweating".
1. Phosphorescent: The word "phosphorescent" originates from the Greek word "phosphoros" which means "light-bringing". It is formed by combining the Greek words "phos" meaning "light" and "phoros" meaning "carrying". In English, it refers to a substance or object that emits light without heat generation. This phenomenon is typically observed as a lingering glow after exposure to certain forms of radiation like ultraviolet light.
2. Sweating: The word "sweating" has its roots in Old English. It can be traced back to the word "swætan" which means "to excrete sweat".
