Preventing or reducing sweating or perspiration.
From anti- (against) + sudoral (relating to sweat), derived from Latin sudare (to sweat). The medical term emerged in the 19th century to describe substances or treatments that inhibit sweat production.
Antiperspirants use antisudoral properties to block sweat glands—literally fighting against your body's natural cooling system, which is why they work best in specific areas rather than everywhere.
