Thanks a lot... But I wonder if this definition of sweat is right.
Sweat- water coming out from your skin.
Is the term "water" here appropriate for it?
I think "liquid" is better.

The term is simply "sweat". There is no need to attach water, liquid or anything else.

That is the dictionary definition of what sweat is. In writing or conversation, the term is simply 'sweat'. It is not sweat water, or sweat liquid, it is simply 'sweat'.

I was looking for the definition of the word sweat(noun).
I actually heard someone saying, "Sweat is the water coming out from your skin".
And I just wondered if the word "water" is approapriate.
