What does SWEAT mean in Scrabble?
verb
To produce moisture through the pores of the skin, typically as a result of heat, exertion, or strong emotion.
Physical exertion, hot weather, and even anxiety can all make a person sweat as the body cools itself by releasing moisture onto the skin. Cooks also use the word loosely, meaning to heat vegetables gently in fat until they soften and release their own liquid without browning. Informally, to sweat something means to worry over it, as when someone frets about an exam or a difficult decision long before it happens.
