sweater
This term primarily describes a cozy, insulating garment. It carries a connotation of warmth, comfort, and domesticity, often associated with autumn and winter seasons. While it is a general term, it encompasses various styles from heavy cable-knits to light cardigans, typically implying a textured, woven fabric rather than a smooth, woven cloth like a shirt.
In a secondary, more colloquial sense, the word can describe an individual prone to heavy perspiration. This usage is far less common than the garment definition and is typically found in athletic or medical contexts to categorize a person's physiological response to heat or stress.
