means A drenching sweat during sleep, often strong enough to soak nightclothes and bedding, commonly linked to fevers, infections, hormonal shifts, or certain medications.

from Straightforward compound English — 'night' plus 'sweat' — no hidden trick here. 'Sweat' itself traces back to Old English 'swætan,' related to Latin 'sudor' and Sanskrit roots touching on perspiration, all ancient words for a universal bodily fact. The phrase 'night sweat' became medical shorthand as physicians needed a quick way to flag sweating that happens specifically during sleep, since that pattern often points to something diagnostically worth noting, from tuberculosis in older medical literature to menopause and infections today.
