Etymology: Perspirationally is a formation built from "perspiration" plus the adverb-forming suffix "-ally", meaning in a manner involving perspiration. The base noun "perspiration" comes from Latin "perspirare", to breathe through, from "per" meaning through and "spirare" meaning to breathe. The Latin sense was literal breathing, and the Romans used it to describe vapour or breath passing out through the skin, which is how it came to mean sweat. The adverb itself is a rare, straightforward derivation rather than a word with a famous history. Its meaning follows directly from its parts: an action carried out through the release of sweat. Because it is formed on demand from a base word and suffix, it is not found in older standard dictionaries and appears mainly in modern usage.
