Definition
More damp and sticky to the touch, usually describing unpleasant moisture like sweat or humid air.
Etymology
Comparative form of 'clammy,' from Middle English 'clam' meaning sticky or damp, possibly from Old Norse or Germanic roots relating to clinging or adhering.
Kelly Says
Your skin becomes clammier when you're nervous or scared because your sweat glands flood with moisture as part of the 'fight-or-flight' response—it's why we call anxiety 'cold sweats' even though the sweat itself is warm.
