iznoenje

iznoenje is a term that appears in some Slavic languages, primarily referring to the act of sweating or perspiration. It denotes the physiological process by which the body releases heat and eliminates certain waste products through the skin. This process is essential for thermoregulation, helping to maintain a stable internal body temperature.

The amount of iznoenje can vary greatly depending on factors such as physical exertion, environmental temperature and humidity, emotional state, and individual metabolic rates. When the body overheats, the sweat glands become active, producing a fluid that evaporates from the skin's surface, thereby cooling the body. This is a fundamental survival mechanism.

Beyond its thermoregulatory function, iznoenje can also be influenced by stress or fear, often leading to a clammy or cold sweat. In some contexts, the term might be used metaphorically to describe a strenuous or difficult effort, akin to "working up a sweat." While the literal meaning centers on bodily perspiration, its figurative use highlights the exertion involved in overcoming challenges.
