Perspicacious?” Alex said. “I didn’t notice him sweating

" I do not know what your ploy is, Mr. Hamilton, but I assure you that you
won’t take in a judge as perspicacious as Lewis Smithson.”
“Perspicacious?” Alex said. “I didn’t notice him sweating at all.”

I cant find the relationship between Perspicacious and sweating . Does it have something to do with the word origin ?

The joke is that Alex doesn't understand the word 'perspicacious' . He thinks it means 'perspiring '.
