The word 'sweat' comes from the English 'sweten' known around the years 900AD to 1000AD . Similar words and meanings were used in Latin, Greek, old Norse, Dutch and the Germanic languages. As a fashion garment the word appears in 1828 meaning clothing worn to produce sweating and reduce weight. This seems to be an extension of a garment worn in rowing
