Plural of diaphoresis; multiple instances of excessive or abnormal sweating, especially as a symptom of illness or a medical condition.
From Greek dia- (through) + phoresis (sweating, literally 'carrying through'), with the plural -es ending used for Greek-derived medical terms.
Night sweats and sudden sweating episodes are classic signs of fever and illness because your body's immune system literally raises its thermostat to help fight infection—diaphoreses are your body's way of resetting to a higher temperature set point.
