Perspiration vs. Condensation

The action or process of perspiring.

(by extension) Hard work.

A saline fluid secreted by the sweat glands; sweat.

The act or process of perspiring.

That which is excreted through the skin; sweat.

salty fluid secreted by sweat glands;

Example: ‘sweat poured off his brow’;

the process of the sweat glands of the skin secreting a salty fluid;

Example: ‘perspiration is a homeostatic process’;

Perspiration, also known as sweating, is the production of fluids secreted by the sweat glands in the skin of mammals.Two types of sweat glands can be found in humans: eccrine glands and apocrine glands. The eccrine sweat glands are distributed over much of the body and are responsible for secreting the watery, brackish sweat most often triggered by excessive body temperature.

The act or process of condensing or of being condensed

The state of being condensed.

(physics) The conversion of a gas to a liquid.

The condensate so formed.

(chemistry) The reaction of two substances with the simultaneous loss of water or other small molecule.

The act or process of condensing or of being condensed; the state of being condensed.

Example: ‘He [Goldsmith] was a great and perhaps an unequaled master of the arts of selection and condensation.’;

The act or process of reducing, by depression of temperature or increase of pressure, etc., to another and denser form, as gas to the condition of a liquid or steam to water.

A rearrangement or concentration of the different constituents of one or more substances into a distinct and definite compound of greater complexity and molecular weight, often resulting in an increase of density, as the condensation of oxygen into ozone, or of acetone into mesitylene.

(psychoanalysis) an unconscious process whereby two ideas or images combine into a single symbol; especially in dreams

the process of changing from a gaseous to a liquid or solid state

atmospheric moisture that has condensed because of cold

the process or result of becoming smaller or pressed together;

Example: ‘the contraction of a gas on cooling’;

a shortened version of a written work

the act of increasing the density of something

water which collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it

Example: ‘the inside of the cab steamed up with condensation’;

the conversion of a vapour or gas to a liquid

Example: ‘the cloud is caused by condensation in the air’;

a reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule, producing a small molecule such as H₂O as a by-product.

the fusion of two or more images or ideas into a single composite or new image, as a primary process in unconscious thought exemplified in dreams.

a concise version of something, especially a text

Example: ‘a readable condensation of the recent literature’;

Condensation is the change of the physical state of matter from the gas phase into the liquid phase, and is the reverse of vaporization. The word most often refers to the water cycle.
